Gitpulsar

About

Gitpulsar is a complete Git client built natively for GNOME. Written in Rust with GTK4 and libadwaita, it stays fast and lightweight while giving you the full Git workflow without ever leaving the keyboard or reaching for the terminal.

Unlike browser-wrapped Git apps, Gitpulsar is a single small binary that follows your system theme, respects your accent color preferences, and feels like a first-class GNOME application. It runs offline, sends nothing to the cloud, and uses zero telemetry.

Why choose Gitpulsar:

• Native GNOME look and feel — libadwaita widgets, dark and light themes, dynamic colors
• Multi-repository workspace — open a folder, see all repos with live status indicators (modified, untracked, ahead of remote)
• Adaptive layout — works from a 4K monitor down to a 360 px phone screen (Phosh, postmarketOS)
• Low CPU and memory — Rust core with smart background polling that pauses when the window isn't focused
• No telemetry, no account, no cloud — your code stays on your machine

What you can do:

• Browse history with a paginated commit log, search, and an integrated branch graph
• Stage and unstage by file, by hunk, or by individual line — with drag and drop
• Commit with conventional commit prefixes (feat, fix, docs…) and one-click Co-Authored-By trailers
• Undo and redo staging operations and even file discards
• Resolve merge conflicts in a three-panel visual editor
• Run interactive rebase with reorder, squash, fixup, reword, edit, and drop actions
• Annotate any file with blame to see who changed each line
• View per-file commit history to debug regressions
• Clone a repository from a URL with a built-in dialog
• Manage remotes — add, rename, remove, and edit URLs
• Push and delete tags on the remote, create lightweight or annotated tags
• Export commits as patches and apply patches with git am or git apply
• Browse the reflog to recover from accidental reset, rebase, or branch operations
• Manage stashes, submodules, and worktrees from the sidebar
• Edit .gitignore inside the app
• Use the full keyboard — shortcuts for every common action and Tab-cycling across panels
