GitButler

GitButler is a Git-based version-control interface with a graphical client and command-line tools for AI-powered workflows. It lets developers manage multiple independent branches in one working directory, as well as dependent stacks that can be merged in a chosen order. Commit controls cover creating, changing, squashing, splitting, reordering and undoing commits; project-state snapshots offer a way to reverse major operations. AI can generate commit messages and branch names using OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama or LM Studio. GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket integrations support pull requests and branch workflows, with GitHub Enterprise connections available using an API URL and personal access token. Commits can be signed automatically with GPG or SSH keys. GitButler runs on macOS, Windows and Linux. Linux releases require libwebkit2gtk and can have distribution-specific compatibility limitations. The standalone client is free and open source; the project is described as Fair Source, becoming MIT after two years. A Supporter plan is $5 a month, billed monthly.
