LazySVN

lazysvn — a keyboard-driven terminal UI for Subversion

lazysvn                  # run inside an svn working copy
lazysvn update [tag]     # self-update (curl / PowerShell installs)
lazysvn uninstall
lazysvn --version

Latest release: v0.4.2 · other platforms under INSTALL

This is the real interface, running in your browser on a fake working copy. Click it and use the keys: j/k to move, space to mark, d for a diff, v to revert, c to commit.

lazysvn puts a Subversion working copy on one screen: the changed files on the left, a diff or log on the right, and every action a single key away. It drives your existing svn client, so it works with any repository you can already reach.

• Status that understands svn. Reads svn status --xml, so changelists, externals and tree conflicts show up as what they are.
• Side-by-side diffs that follow the cursor. Narrow terminals get a unified diff instead. Property changes and lines like -- comment are parsed correctly.
• Logs. The last 20 log entries for any file, one key away.
• Batch actions. Mark files with space, then commit, add or revert them together. Revert lists every path it will touch before you confirm.
• Safe by construction. One working-copy-changing command runs at a time, so lazysvn never races svn for its lock or shows a stale list.
• One small binary. Linux, macOS and Windows on amd64 and arm64. The only thing it needs is the svn command-line client.
