Gitnuro vs Gitti

Gitnuro is a free, open-source Git client for Linux, macOS, and Windows, aimed at newcomers and experienced users. It supports cloning, committing, merging, rebasing, pushing and pulling, stashing, and managing branches and remotes. For reviewing changes, it offers text diffs, image comparisons, commit search, file history, blame, and staging or unstaging selected lines and hunks. Its listed capabilities also include Git LFS, submodules, and interactive rebase. The source code is licensed under GPL-3.0, and the maker says the app does not track users or their projects. Gitnuro uses the JVM and avoids web technologies, which the maker says helps it work with large repositories. Users can create themes and customize the colour palette. Downloads include Linux Flatpak and JAR builds, Windows installable and portable versions, and a macOS app bundle ZIP or Homebrew installation. Git Credential Manager is supported when its full binary path is specified in .gitconfig. The macOS version is currently unsigned; multicast DNS remote URLs and self-signed server certificates are identified as setups that can cause authentication failures.

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.
