GitButler is a Git branch management tool, built from the ground up for modern workflows.
This GUI lets you work on multiple branches at the same time. It allows you to quickly organize file changes into separate branches while still having them applied to your working directory. You can then push branches individually to your remote, or directly create pull requests.
This is free and open source software.
