MeGit is a standalone graphical Git client built around EGit, the Git tooling from the Eclipse ecosystem.
The project is designed for people who want EGit’s mature interface and branch management tools without having to launch a full Eclipse IDE or import repositories as Eclipse projects. Instead, you open MeGit, add the repositories you want to work with, and carry out Git tasks from a lightweight desktop application focused on version control workflows.
This is free and open source software.
