Gittyup is a graphical Git client designed to make it easier to understand and manage source code history. It continues the work of GitAhead while adding further development and compatibility improvements.
The interface combines the commit graph, repository state and file changes in a desktop application that works well for both inspecting history and carrying out routine Git operations. It provides granular control over staging and exposes branches, tags and remotes without forcing users back to the command line for every task.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Displays repository history using an interactive commit graph.
- Stages and unstages complete files or individual portions of changes.
- Shows separate staged and unstaged file trees with detailed diffs.
- Creates, deletes, checks out and manages branches and tags.
- Handles remotes together with fetch, pull and push operations.
- Filters and searches repository history to locate commits quickly.
- Supports repositories using modern Git object formats including SHA-256.
- Works with Git credential helpers and repository configuration.
