Guitar is a Qt-based graphical Git client that provides a broad collection of repository tools in a compact desktop application. Its main views cover repository history, file changes and the working tree while keeping common Git operations readily accessible.
The client is useful for both routine commits and deeper inspection. History searching, blame, reflog and file history tools sit alongside branch, remote, stash and submodule management, with support for signed commits and external repository services.
This is free and open source software.
