GitPulsar is a native desktop Git client designed for GNOME. It is built with Rust, GTK and libadwaita and follows GNOME interface conventions rather than wrapping a web application in a desktop shell.
The application combines a multi-repository workspace with detailed history and working-tree views. It covers granular staging, branches, remotes and more involved operations such as interactive rebasing while keeping the interface adaptive enough for different window sizes.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Manages multiple repositories from a single workspace with repository status indicators.
- Provides searchable commit history and a graphical representation of branches.
- Stages, unstages and discards complete files or individual hunks.
- Supports branch creation and checkout together with fetch, pull and push operations.
- Provides stash, amend, cherry-pick and revert workflows.
- Handles merge and rebase conflicts with continue and abort actions.
- Supports interactive rebasing, submodules and Git worktrees.
- Includes an integrated .gitignore editor and automatic repository refresh.
