Find the live config dir on any machine with lazygit --config-dir.

The official Dracula theme (copied verbatim from upstream), matching git/.gitconfig:

Element	Color
activeBorderColor	`#FF79C6` bold (pink)
inactiveBorderColor	`#BD93F9` (purple)
searchingActiveBorderColor	`#8BE9FD` bold (cyan)
selectedLineBgColor	`#6272A4` (comment)
optionsTextColor	`#6272A4` (comment)
unstagedChangesColor	`#FF5555` (red)
defaultFgColor	`#F8F8F2` (foreground)

Plus cherry-pick / marked-base-commit colors — see the file for the full upstream block.

Other settings

gui:
  nerdFontsVersion: "3"             # use NF v3 glyphs (font-hack-nerd-font in Brewfile)
  showRandomTip: false              # silence the splash tips
  showCommandLog: false             # hide the bottom command-log panel
  showFileTree: true                # tree view in the files panel
  experimentalShowBranchHeads: true # show branch heads in the commit log

git:
  paging:
    colorArg: always
    pager: delta --paging=never     # diff pane uses delta, matching `git diff` in the terminal

os:
  editPreset: "vim"                 # `e` opens files in vim

The delta pager means lazygit’s diff pane renders with the same side-by-side, syntax-highlighted view you see from git diff. Both read settings from git/.gitconfig’s [delta] block.

gh integration (custom commands)

Key	Context	Action
`O`	global	`gh pr view --web` — open this branch’s PR in browser
`C`	global	`gh pr create --fill --web` — create PR for current branch
`V`	commits	`gh pr view --web {SHA}` — open PR for selected commit
`L`	global	`gh pr list --author "@me"` — list my PRs (terminal output)
`X`	global	`gh poi` — prune branches whose PRs are merged (terminal output)

{{.SelectedLocalCommit.Sha}} is lazygit’s template syntax for the selected entry in the commits panel.

Schema reference

Keep this file lean — lazygit can write to it when settings change via its UI, which creates noisy diffs when you only meant to tweak one thing.
