What Gittyup is

Gittyup is a free, open-source graphical Git client for reviewing and managing source code history. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows and is maintained by Murmele. A single-branch view focuses history on a selected branch, while tabs let users move between repositories. The diff view supports staging and unstaging changes, blame, and staging individual lines; the blame view adds a timeline showing who changed each line. Commit tools include amending and starring commits, plus commit message templates. Gittyup can also help resolve rebase conflicts and continue once they are solved, and its changelog lists support for Gitea instances. Gittyup and its predecessor GitAhead are licensed under MIT. The project lists English, German, Spanish, Japanese, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese, and Russian language support. Building from the repository requires Qt 6.4 or later as an external dependency, while libgit2 is listed as an included dependency. Users can ask questions on Stack Overflow with the gittyup tag, report bugs through the issue tracker, or visit the Matrix channel.
