GitQlient is a graphical Git client built with Qt. It provides a visual representation of repository history alongside tools for staging, committing and working with branches, remotes and other Git objects.
The project has developed well beyond its roots as a QGit fork. Fine-grained staging, rebasing, configurable fetching and a plugin architecture make it suitable for regular development work, while integrations can connect the client with repository hosting and continuous integration services.
This is free and open source software.
