Available for Linux, Windows and macOS.

Fast

Built end-to-end in Rust for speed and efficiency using smol, gix, and gpui for blazingly fast operations.

Precise

Stage by file, by hunk, or by single line, straight from the diff gutter. Commit the one idea you meant to.

Local-first

Your repositories stay on your machine. No account, no sync, no upload. Free for personal and commercial use, under the AGPL-3.0.

Merge tool

Conflict resolution that starts halfway done

GitComet settles whitespace moves, one-sided edits and duplicate changes the moment a file opens. You decide only the conflicts that need a decision.

How resolution works

GitComet three-way merge resolver showing base, local, and remote columns with auto-resolved chunks — Base, local, and remote aligned row by row, with the resolved output below.

Interactive rebase

Rewrite history by dragging it

Reorder commits by dragging them, then pick, reword, squash, fixup, or drop. Squash a range and preview the resulting message before you commit to it.

See how rebase works

The GitComet interactive rebase editor with reword and squash actions assigned to three commits — Interactive rebase: drag to reorder, then choose an action per commit.

Line staging

Stage a single line from the diff

Stage and unstage individual lines straight from the diff gutter, not just whole hunks. Small, honest commits without a second tool.

See how staging works

Staging an individual line from a diff hunk in GitComet — Line-level staging from the diff gutter.
