In their own words

GitComet

GitComet is an open-source desktop Git client for Linux, macOS, and Windows. Repositories stay on the user's machine; the client requires no account, synchronization, or repository upload. Its diff gutter lets users stage or unstage files, hunks, or individual lines. History operations include interactive rebase, cherry-pick, squash, revert, and reset, with comparisons across commits, branches, tags, and the working tree. The merge tool automatically settles whitespace moves, one-sided edits, and duplicate changes before users resolve remaining conflicts. GitComet also includes branches, remotes, tags, worktrees, submodules, stashes, patches, blame, cloning, and configurable pull policies. It works offline and has Linux Wayland support, automatic X11 fallback, and WSLg support. The Open Source plan is free for personal and commercial use. Professional is €20, paid once for lifetime access and adds integrations including Claude Code, Codex, GitHub CLI, GitHub, and Azure DevOps. A local Git installation version 2.50 or newer is required.
