GitQlient

GitQlient is a free, multi-platform Git client written with Qt and originally forked from QGit. It can open several repositories at once, but handles each independently and has no cross-repository features. Its main view includes commits, work in progress, branches, tags, stashes, and submodules; quick actions cover pull, fetch, prune, push, and stash. Diff and blame/history views include file history and line blame. For conflicts from merge, pull, or cherry-pick operations, GitQlient opens a merge view, but conflicted files must be edited in a separate editor. The project lists GitHub and GitLab integration, including issue and pull-request creation from its platform menu, and describes an embedded text editor with C++ syntax highlighting. It works offline and is available for Linux, macOS, and Windows. The manual identifies it as free software under the GNU Lesser General Public License, version 2 or later, without warranty. The macOS DMG is available, but that version is not tested due to lack of resources.
