In their own words
Gitember
Gitember is a free, open-source desktop client for managing Git repositories through a visual interface. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux and supports clone, init, commit, push, pull, fetch, branch, merge, rebase, stash, and tag over SSH or HTTPS. Workspaces group separate repositories for shared operations and a combined working-copy view. To inspect changes, users get a commit graph, file history, unified, context, and side-by-side diffs with syntax highlighting for more than 40 languages, plus folder comparison. A visual three-way merge editor helps resolve merge and rebase conflicts. Search spans commit messages, tags, branches, paths, and indexed content from source files and several document types. Gitember supports pull request review for GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket Cloud, and Gitea, including self-hosted Gitea, as well as Git LFS and submodules. Experimental local AI features use Ollama for secret detection and suggestions for branch descriptions and commit messages. Local repositories work offline; no account is required, and hosting tokens are optional for certain features.
