GitButler vs Gitti

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.

Gitti is a free, open-source terminal interface for common Git work, aimed at developers who prefer keyboard-driven workflows. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows and supports nested repositories. From its terminal UI, users can handle branches, worktrees, commits, merges, rebases, stashes, and tags. Views cover local branches, tags, remotes, worktrees, modified files, commit history, reflog entries, stash contents, and an application logging panel. Keyboard shortcuts, list filtering, and mouse input provide navigation and panel focus. Interactive staging and unstaging include line-level changes and a syntax-aware diff viewer. Commits and tags can use GPG or SSH signing. The reflog view supports creating branches, resetting, or cherry-picking historical entries. Real-time application logs can be exported to a file. Installation routes include Go, Homebrew, curl, PowerShell, and Scoop. Go-based installation recommends Go 1.21 or newer, and Git must be in PATH. The project is hosted on GitHub.
