Git Manager showing the commit graph of a repository, with the selected commit's changed files and diff in the inspector

The commit graph across all branches. Selecting a commit shows its files and diff in the inspector.

Built around history

Opening a repository lands on the graph. Everything else — changes, branches, conflicts — is one step away, and the interface stays quiet so history and diffs lead.

Changes view with staged, changed and new files, an inline diff, stashes and the commit form

Merge editor with ours, the result and theirs side by side for a conflicted file

Commit graph

Large histories stay fast. Filter to one branch, jump to a branch tip, or reveal a commit far down the list.

Diffs with syntax colors

Monaco-powered diffs, inline or side by side, colored for the file's language.

Branches & sync

Create and switch branches, merge, rebase, fetch, pull and push, with ahead/behind at a glance.

Host accounts

Link GitHub, GitLab (including self-managed) or Bitbucket to browse your repositories. Tokens live in OS secure storage.

Clone & create

Clone over HTTPS or SSH with progress and cancel, or start a new repository with its first commit.

Keyboard-friendly

Move between panes with F6, walk commits and files with the arrow keys, and resize any divider from the keyboard.

Search history in plain words

`fix login`	Commits whose message contains the text, ignoring case
`author:Ada`	Commits by that author
`3f2c1ab`	That commit
`branch:feature/*`	The history of every branch the pattern matches
`branch:main fix`	A branch filter combined with a message search
