commit a1f9c0250014e17ce9357c69a05c676673bc79f5c
Merge branch 'feature/side-by-side-diff'
Brings the side-by-side diff view to main. Adds a toggle in the diff
header and word-level intra-line highlighting on top of the existing
inline renderer.

In development

platypusgit is under active development — expect frequent releases and rough edges. Got a feature idea or hit a bug? Propose it on GitHub Issues ↗

Free for everyone

No license fees, no per-seat pricing, no "pro" tier. Every feature, every platform, zero cost — for solo devs, teams, and companies alike.

Open source

GPLv3. Read the code, file issues, send patches. No telemetry, no account, no lock-in. Your repos and history never leave your machine.

Dev-first

A TortoiseGit alternative designed around how developers actually work — keyboard-driven, dense, no hand-holding. Hunks, rebases, conflicts — all first-class.

Cross-platform & native

Small native binary with real windows on macOS, Windows, and Linux — not a bundled browser.

Everything you do with git. In one window.

Staging & commit

Stage/unstage/discard files and individual hunks. Commit with amend + author override.

Diff & viewing

Worktree/index/HEAD diffs, commit-to-commit diffs, blame, repo browser.

Branches & tags

List/create/checkout/rename/delete branches. Lightweight + annotated tags.

History

Commit graph, file history, reflog viewer, detached-HEAD checkout.

History manipulation

Reset (soft/mixed/hard), cherry-pick, revert.

Stash

Save/apply/pop/drop, stash-to-branch.

Conflict resolution

3-way sides, accept ours/theirs, external mergetool, continue/abort.

Interactive rebase

Pick/reword/edit/squash/fixup/drop, continue/abort, base picker.

Remotes & network

Add/remove/rename/prune remotes, fetch/pull/push (with-lease/force), merge.
