Gitte is a native Git client designed for the GNOME desktop. Written in Rust and built around GTK and libadwaita, it offers a modern desktop interface without relying on browser technologies.
Development has moved quickly, adding a graphical commit history and increasingly sophisticated history manipulation. Alongside ordinary staging and remote work, commits can be reordered or combined visually, while improved diff and stash tools make Gitte useful for more involved repository work.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Displays repository history using an interactive commit graph.
- Stages, unstages and discards working-tree changes.
- Provides side-by-side and inline diff views with separate history and working-copy settings.
- Reorders, squashes, fixes up and drops commits from graphical history workflows.
- Cherry-picks individual or multiple commits.
- Creates, applies and manages stashes from a dedicated interface.
- Filters working-copy changes and searches repository history.
- Supports configurable external editors and repository-specific issue and pull request links.
