Now in beta · macOS

Git, with a hop .

A full Git client that gets out of your way. Native SwiftUI, inspired by the late, great GitX. Stage down to the line, walk and blame history, rebase and merge with intent, and manage branches, tags, stashes, and remotes.

The beta is live through June — this build expires at the end of the month, so drop your email and we'll let you know the moment the next version is ready.

GitBunki commit history with graph
History

Every move, mapped.

A full commit log with a lane-based graph — so you can see the merges, the divergence, the long-lived feature branch nobody mentioned. Branch and tag badges land on the rows they belong to.

  • Search commits by message, author, or SHA
  • Gravatar avatars (with initials fallback)
  • Right-click for cherry-pick, revert, reset, interactive rebase
  • Open the working file's history straight from the commit detail
Commit history with graph visualization
Staging

Stage hunks.
Or lines. Or words.

GitX's three-column layout, modernized. Diff on top, unstaged / commit message / staged on the bottom. Click a hunk to stage it. Shift-click a range of lines and stage just those. Amend the last commit without dropping to the terminal.

Two-pane view when you need to see the shape of the change.

Everything git can do.
Without the cliff.

Branches, tags, stashes, remotes, blame, file history. Each one gets a contextual right-hand panel with the actions that actually matter.

Branches

Track, merge, rebase

Local + remote branches with ahead/behind chips, upstream-gone detection, recent-commits with inline diffs, and one-click merge or rebase.

Tags

Lightweight or annotated

Create tags on HEAD or any commit, push individually, see annotation messages and tagger info in a dedicated detail panel.

Stash

Save it for later

Stash with optional message, include untracked files, then apply / pop / drop from the detail panel with diffs you can actually read.

Remotes

Add, rename, edit

Manage configured remotes in a dedicated tab. Multi-remote repos are first-class. Fetch from all with one click.

Blame

Per-line context

Author, date, SHA, and summary on every line. Click any SHA to jump to that commit's detail.

File history

Just this file

Filter the log to a single path. Available from commit detail and the tree browser.

A panel for every thing.

Pick a branch, a tag, or a stash on the left — the right panel reshapes itself to the actions that make sense for what you selected.

Branches with detail panel
Branches
Checkout, merge, rebase, delete — with confirmations on the dangerous ones.
Tags with annotation message
Tags
Lightweight or annotated, with full tagger details and push-to-origin.
Stash list with diff
Stash
Source branch parsed from the subject, files listed, diff viewable.
Dark mode

Daylight or moonlight.

Follows your system theme. Carefully tuned diff colors that hold up at 2 AM, when most of this is probably happening anyway.

Shortcuts

For the keyboard people.

A short, opinionated set of shortcuts for the things you do twenty times a day — and a Settings pane to see all of them in one place.

Refresh repository ⌘R
Commit from staging ⌘↵
Stage / unstage file double-click
File actions menu right-click
Stage line range shift-click
Toggle file selection ⌘-click

History rewrite

Rebase without
the cold sweat.

Interactive rebase, reset (soft / mixed / hard), continue / skip / abort — all with actionable errors. Hard reset gets a destructive confirmation that names the commit it's about to land on. No more git reflog panic.

Interactive rebase

Launch Git's todo editor from any commit in history.

Continue · skip · abort

Resume an in-progress rebase from the UI.

Reset modes

Soft, mixed, and hard — with destructive confirmation.

Conflict guidance

Friendly errors for dirty trees, detached HEAD, missing refs.

Cherry-pick & revert

From the commit detail, with one click.

Merge strategies

Auto, no-fast-forward, fast-forward-only.
