Terminal use case

terminal Git diff drawer for local repositories

YEN's Git drawer is a bottom overlay for checking local repository state without turning the terminal into a full Git client.

Use this page if you want quick repository awareness while keeping commits and advanced operations in your normal Git tools.

Decision points

Every point here is either tied to YEN docs or framed as a workflow distinction from official product positioning.

The local Git drawer is documented as read-only and shows branch/upstream state, grouped changes, stash file lists, and raw diffs.

Cmd + Shift + G toggles the drawer from the focused terminal context.

YEN includes a bundled lazygit handoff for users who want a full terminal Git TUI after reviewing the drawer.

This page avoids benchmark, pricing, and availability claims unless a current official source supports them.
