Everything, in one window

Built for the way you actually use Git.

A branch-aware history graph

See every branch, tag, remote and stash across all refs in one clean graph. Colored lanes, ref pills and ahead/behind badges make the shape of your history obvious at a glance.

Graph across all refs, up to 500 commits
Per-commit changed files & diffs
Multi-select a range to compare

Stage, diff & commit with flow

Staged, unstaged and untracked files sit side by side with a live diff preview. Stage a file, review the hunks, write a message and commit — Ctrl/Cmd+Enter and you're done.

Stage / unstage / discard per file
Live syntax-highlighted diffs
Amend the last commit in a click

GitLunex working copy with staged and unstaged changes

Read every change like a story

Click any commit to see its files and a crisp unified diff — additions and deletions clearly marked, line numbers aligned. History stops being a wall of hashes and starts telling you what happened.

Per-file diffs for any commit
Export or apply a range as a patch
Reset, tag or rebase from the graph

A real terminal, built right in

Toggle a full PTY shell rooted at the repo — powered by xterm.js — without ever leaving the window. Drop to the command line for anything the GUI doesn't cover, then jump straight back to the graph.

One interactive shell per repo tab

Cross-platform, real PTY

One window, every repo

A tabbed workspace that keeps up with you.

A pinned Home launcher organises your repositories into nestable folders. Open each one as a browser-style tab — drag to reorder, middle-click to close, and every tab remembers its scroll, selection and terminal.

Branch-aware graph across every ref in the repo.

Interactive rebase

Reorder, squash & reword with an in-app conflict editor.

Repository organizer

Nestable folders and drag-to-organise on Home.

Why it feels fast

Native speed, because it isn't a browser in disguise.

The shell is Tauri v2 — a small Rust binary instead of a bundled Chromium. Git operations shell out to your system git and are parsed in Rust, so every repo works exactly as it does on the command line — hooks, config, credential helpers and all.

Small & light

A ~10 MB install with a low memory footprint.

No reimplementation — it drives the real CLI.

One codebase for Linux, macOS & Windows.
