lazygit for Debian

lazygit — a simple terminal UI for git commands — packaged for Debian as part of latest-debs.

Want your own project packaged and maintained this way? See the latest-debs packaging service.

Install

Via the latest-debs apt repository:

sudo apt install extrepo  # if not already installed
sudo extrepo enable latest-debs
sudo apt update
sudo apt install lazygit

Or download a .deb from the Releases page:

sudo apt install ./lazygit_*.deb

Verify

apt-cache policy lazygit
lazygit --version

Supported distributions & architectures

• Debian Bookworm (12), Trixie (13), Forky (14/testing), Sid (unstable)
• amd64, arm64, i386 (bookworm/trixie) (lazygit's upstream releases only publish amd64/arm64/32-bit Linux binaries)

Building

Run the Build lazygit for Debian workflow on GitHub with the desired upstream version. Packaging is driven by debian-multiarch-builder.

Collaborate with us

latest-debs is a community effort. If you rely on this package and want to help keep it fresh, watching for a new upstream release or fixing a build hiccup, we'd love your help. Open an issue on this repo, or email latest-debs@users.noreply.github.com to get involved.

Disclaimer

Unofficial, volunteer-run packaging — best-effort, no SLA.

• Update cadence: publishing a release normally triggers an immediate apt-repo rebuild via webhook; the ~6h scheduled run is the fallback. GitHub outages, a missing trigger token, rate limits, or upstream archive changes can delay or skip an update; there is no freshness guarantee.
• Draft releases: every build is published as a draft that a maintainer reviews before promoting, so a new version can lag its build.
