What it is

Gittyup is a free, open-source graphical Git client for Linux, macOS, and Windows, developed by volunteers as a continuation of GitAhead. It helps users inspect and manage source-code history. The history view focuses on one branch at a time, with tabs for switching repositories. Its diff view allows staging or unstaging individual lines and viewing blame; the blame timeline identifies who changed each line. Commit features include amending, message templates, starring, and tag selection. Gittyup can resolve rebase conflicts and continue afterward. It supports Git LFS and submodules, but not interactive rebase. The changelog notes Gitea support, and SSH appears among dependencies. Language options include English, German, Spanish, Japanese, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese, and Russian. MIT licensing permits use, modification, and distribution, while providing no warranty. Source builds require Qt 6.4 or later and a C++11 compiler; CMake 3.19 or later is recommended.
