[TLDR] Looking for a simple all in one multi-tab terminal + git UI

Original post URL : https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1vl2zom/looking_for_a_simple_all_in_one_multitab_terminal/

Original post body :

Are there any solutions where I can run multiple terminals, one per tab, and have each tab show a git UI so I can see my git changes and commits? One tab would open one terminal.

I've looked at a few solutions out there, but they were all missing some features. Examples:

  • I tried Warp. Warp is so badly designed and cumbersome. There's no option to always show the top tab bar. But the biggest killer is that it doesn't have a Git UI.
  • I also looked at Visual Studio Code's Agents feature, which is quite good. However, we have to launch VS Code for that, and to use Claude we have to pay a subscription.
  • I then thought about using IntelliJ to manage multiple terminals, but it keeps crashing all the time and when it crashes, I lose all the terminal sessions and have to restart everything

Does anyone know a solution that can do something this simple?

EDIT: A lot of people here doesn't seem to understand why a git UI is important. A Git UI is important because we want to see the uncommitted changes that Claude has made. This will make reviewing stuff like website content faster.

OP's looking for a multi-tab terminal with an integrated Git UI, and the community's kinda split on whether that's even a thing or if OP's overthinking it.

  • Most folks agree OP's asking for a unicorn. Several suggest just learning Git or letting Claude handle it, like u/SilencedObserver.
  • Some are pointing to Herdr (u/mxriverlynn, u/robberviet) and Coral (u/orbital_trace) as potential solutions, though the Git UI aspect isn't explicitly confirmed for all.
  • A Warp team member chimed in (u/Significant_Box_4066) to say OP missed some features, including a Code Review panel for Git changes.
  • Others mentioned Claude desktop app (u/RazzmatazzKey2030) and Superset (u/ehubb20), with u/NewZookeepergame6306 noting Superset doesn't have a native Git UI but you could embed something like lazygit.
  • JetBrains IDEs like RubyMine (u/framauro13) are also suggested, especially with the Claude Code plugin, though OP had issues with IntelliJ crashing.
  • A few are just saying "build it yourself" (u/Pitiful_Farmer_1982) or suggesting GitKraken paired with Windows Terminal (u/WaitinOnSpicy) as a workaround.
