ungit provides a visual interface for working with Git repositories through a web browser. Rather than presenting Git as a collection of commands, it displays repository history, branches and changes in a graphical representation intended to make version control easier to follow.
The application works with repositories on the machine running its server component. Developers can use the browser interface to inspect project history and perform common Git operations without constantly switching to a terminal.
ungit is different from repository hosting platforms such as Gitea and GitLab. Its main purpose is to simplify interaction with existing repositories rather than provide an environment for hosting software projects and managing development teams.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Displays commits and branches in an interactive graphical interface.
- Supports staging changes and creating commits from the browser.

- Supports integration with external text editors and merge tools.
- Can be accessed remotely through a browser when appropriately configured.
- Provides access to repository history without requiring a dedicated desktop Git client.
