SourceGit
SourceGit is a free, open-source Git GUI client for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Its interface supports repository operations including clone, fetch, pull, push, merge, rebase, reset, revert, cherry-pick, interactive rebase, and worktrees. For reviewing changes, it offers a visual commit graph, commit search, file history, blame, and revision or branch diffs. Image diffs can appear side by side, in a swipe view, or blended together. Other listed features include GitFlow, Git LFS, bisect, stashes, submodules, issue links, and custom actions. SourceGit can create pull requests on GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, Gitee, and Bitbucket. Commit message generation works with OpenAI or another service that provides an OpenAI-compatible HTTP API, including Ollama. Listed external tools include Visual Studio Code, VSCodium, Cursor, Sublime Text, Zed, and JetBrains IDEs. SourceGit requires Git version 2.25.1 or later. Linux has only been tested on Debian 12 with X11 and Wayland, and macOS packages on the Releases page are unsigned; a contributor provides a signed package distribution.
