Introduction

Install GitComet and learn repository browsing, precise staging, history workflows, diff and merge tools, shortcuts, themes, and troubleshooting.

GitComet is an open source desktop Git client for Linux, macOS, and Windows. Use it to browse repository history, review and stage changes, create commits, manage branches, and resolve conflicts.

The desktop workflow runs locally without a GitComet account. Fetch, pull, and push connect to the Git remotes you configure. The Open Source edition is free for personal and commercial use.
