Show HN: Ec – a terminal Git conflict resolver inspired by IntelliJ

[neozz]

Hi HN, I built ec because my friends who are new to development kept getting stuck on Git conflicts.

Most TUI merge tools felt hard to use or non-intuitive for them. The only flow they found easy was the IntelliJ (JetBrains) conflict resolver, so I recreated that experience in the terminal.

ec is a terminal-native, 3-pane conflict resolver with a focused, step-by-step flow. If you try it and leave feedback, I would be really grateful. Thanks!

great stuff! would love to see this integrated into Lazygit, which I've found the best TUI git tool overall but doesn't have as good of a conflict resolution UX as you've done here (or JetBrains, which is the gold standard in GUI tools, IMO).

I use Lazygit too! If you configure ec as git mergetool, you can resolve conflict via ec by open external mergetool in Lazygit.

Will look into that.
