GitFourchette is a desktop Git client that aims to keep common repository operations close at hand without overcrowding the interface. It combines repository history, branches, working-tree changes and detailed diffs in a traditional native desktop layout.
Particular attention is paid to precise staging and history inspection. Changes can be manipulated at a fine level, while search, blame, conflict handling and commit comparison make it useful when investigating a repository rather than simply creating commits.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Works with several repositories at once using tabbed repository views.
- Stages, unstages and discards changes at file and hunk level.
- Searches commits by message, author, references and changed file paths.
- Compares arbitrary commits and offers detailed text diff controls.
- Manages branches, tags, stashes, remotes and worktrees.
- Provides blame tools and can jump directly from selected lines to their history.
- Helps resolve merge conflicts with ours and theirs previews.
- Understands Git LFS files and provides relevant LFS operations.
