Jira + Git workflow bridge

Jitly vs LazyGit: terminal UI vs ticket automation

LazyGit makes git itself faster to navigate. Jitly automates the Jira side that LazyGit never touches.

LazyGit is one of those tools that once you use it you can't go back to plain git commands for staging and committing. It's fast, it's got a great terminal UI, and it's genuinely one of the best git tools out there for the git part of your job.

But that's exactly the limit — it's a git tool. It has zero idea what Jira is. You still have to remember the ticket ID, the branch convention, and go move the card yourself after you push.

Different layers

Think of it like this: LazyGit makes you faster at the git commands you already run. Jitly removes some of the commands entirely because it knows what ticket you're working on and what your team's rules are.

Verdict: I actually use both. LazyGit for the day-to-day git navigation, Jitly for start/done on tickets. No conflict there.
