Fork
What Fork is
Fork is a Git client for macOS and Windows. It handles fetching, pulling, pushing, committing, branching, merging, rebasing, stashes, and submodules. Commit tools let users stage or unstage changes line by line and access recent commit messages. Visual interactive rebase supports editing, reordering, and squashing commits. A merge conflict helper and built-in resolver assist with conflict work. For review, Fork includes image diffs, a diff viewer, file history, and blame view. Listed Git capabilities include Git-flow, Git LFS, and GPG support. Fork for Windows can create pull requests for GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, and Azure DevOps, and it surfaces GitHub notifications. The site offers a free evaluation but no free plan. The one-time purchase is $59.99, paid once, covering one user on up to three machines at a time for personal and commercial use. Support is listed at [email protected].
