Features

Commit graph

A real commit graph that scrolls and searches through 100k+ commits, with branches and tags drawn on the history.

Tabs and repository picker

A standalone multi-repository client: open repositories in tabs, pick them with the repository picker and get your session back on the next start.

Five repository tabs on top and the repository picker listing open, pinned and recent repositories

Help screen

Press ? to see the keys of the current view, with a filter to find a key fast.

Staging and commits

Stage files, hunks and single lines, then commit or amend, with the message box in the same view.

Changes view with unstaged and staged files, a diff and a commit message being written

Diffs

Unified and side-by-side diffs, also between any two commits.

Side-by-side diff of a commit next to the graph

Worktrees

Worktrees are a first-class view next to branches: see which branch each one has checked out, switch to one or open it in its own tab.

Stashes

Stashes are a first-class view in the sidebar.

3-way conflict editor

Resolve merge conflicts in a 3-way editor: base, ours and theirs above, the result below.

Conflict editor with base, ours and theirs panes above the result pane

Interactive rebase

Edit the commits of an interactive rebase in a dedicated editor: squash, reword or drop.

Reflog and undo

The reflog browser is the undo path for destructive actions: pick an earlier state and reset or branch from it.
