A fast, open-source graphical git client, written in pure Rust.
See every branch at once in a commit graph, stage single lines, commit, branch, merge, rebase
and push, on Windows, macOS and Linux. Big repositories open instantly.
GitCraft reads the whole history in-process with gitoxide and only lays out and reads the rows on screen, so the size of a repository hardly matters. Measured on git.git (85,875 commits, every branch and tag):
| GitCraft | for comparison | |
|---|---|---|
| Open the whole history and lay out the graph | 0.11 s | git rev-list --all --date-order: 0.09 s |
| The same without a commit-graph file | 0.61 s | git rev-list: 0.59 s |
| Read and lay out one screen of commits | 0.1 ms | |
| Lay out 200,000 commits on 12 branches | 28 ms |
Measured with cargo bench on an Intel Core i9-14900K. Every pull request runs the same
benchmarks against the main branch, and one that makes GitCraft slower does not get merged.
GitCraft is young. This is what it does today; ROADMAP.md has what comes next. Being an early version, it does not yet ask for confirmation before a hard reset, so take care with that one.
- Start: open a folder, clone from a URL with git's progress as it goes, or create a new repository.
- Tabs: keep several repositories open at once; they open again where you left them.
- Live: what you change in an editor, a build or a terminal shows up by itself; files git ignores do not wake it.
- Graph: every branch, remote branch and tag in one graph, children above parents, with coloured lanes, branch and tag labels and the uncommitted changes on top. Arrow keys walk it.
- Commits: message, author, parents and the files they changed, with the diff of each file.
- Staging: stage or unstage files, whole hunks or single lines, then commit or amend.
- Branches and tags: create, check out, merge, rebase, delete, from the sidebar or a right click.
- Commits from the graph: check out, cherry-pick, revert, reset (soft, mixed, hard), copy the SHA.
- Remotes: fetch, pull and push, with how far ahead and behind you are.
- Stashes: stash, apply, pop and drop.
GitCraft runs your own git for everything that changes a repository, so your config, hooks,
credentials and commit signing work exactly as they do on the command line.
GitCraft needs git on your PATH.
Builds for Windows, macOS and Linux (x86-64 and ARM) come with each release. To build it yourself, install Rust and run:
cargo install --git https://github.com/Lars-/gitcraft gitcraft
gitcraft path/to/repositoryContributions are very welcome: bug reports, ideas and pull requests. Read CONTRIBUTING.md first; the short version is that every change comes with tests, does what it does in as little code as possible, and does not make GitCraft slower.
