A free, open-source Git GUI client for Linux, Windows, and macOS. Fast, lightweight, and packed with features that make everyday Git work a pleasure.
What's new in v3: The GUI has been completely rewritten, replacing the heavy JavaFX runtime. The result is a significantly smaller download, faster startup, and lower memory usage — while adding first-class integrations with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Gitea. JavaFX version still available in the branch or by tag
- No command-line memorisation — commit, branch, merge, stash, rebase through a clean visual interface
- Powerful diff viewer — unified, context, and side-by-side modes with syntax highlighting for 40+ languages
- Folder comparison tool — compare entire directory trees and spot added / removed / changed files at a glance
- Arbitrary file comparison tool
- Pull Request review — browse and review PRs from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and self-hosted Gitea without leaving the app
- Advanced full-text search — search commits, file contents, Office documents, PDFs, images, and CAD files across the entire history
- Repository statistics — commit frequency, lines changed per author, branch activity
- Git LFS support — manage large binary assets with built-in LFS tooling
