Gittyup
What Gittyup is
Gittyup is a free, open-source graphical Git client for understanding and managing source code history. Developed by volunteers as a continuation of the GitAhead client, it is available for Linux, macOS, and Windows. Its history view shows a single branch at a time, with tabs for switching between repositories. In the diff view, users can stage or unstage changes down to individual lines and inspect blame. The blame view includes a timeline showing who changed each line. Commit tools include amending commits, using message templates, starring commits, and selecting tags. Gittyup supports resolving rebase conflicts and continuing after they are resolved. It also supports Git LFS and submodules, but not interactive rebase. The project changelog notes Gitea support, and SSH appears among its dependencies. The MIT license permits use, modification, and distribution, while providing the software without warranty. The project lists eight supported languages, including English, German, Spanish, Japanese, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese, and Russian. Help is available through its GitHub issue tracker, Matrix channel, and Stack Overflow tag.
