Stage is a graphical Git client inspired by the efficient workflow of Magit. It presents repository status and changes in a compact desktop interface while retaining the speed of a keyboard-oriented tool.
Changes are updated as the repository evolves, making the application useful as a live view of the working tree. Files and individual hunks can be staged directly from the diff, while common history and branch operations are accessible without leaving the interface.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
