What SourceGit is

SourceGit is a free, open-source graphical Git client for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Its interface handles cloning, fetching, pulling, pushing, merging, rebasing, resetting, reverting, cherry-picking, and interactive rebasing. Repository views include a visual commit graph, commit search, file histories, blame, and revision or branch comparisons. Image changes can be viewed side by side, by swipe, or in blend mode. Tools cover branches, remotes, tags, stashes, submodules, worktrees, GitFlow, Git LFS, bisect, and custom actions. SourceGit can create pull requests on GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, Gitee, and Bitbucket, and offers issue links. SSH settings are available per remote. Optional AI commit messages use OpenAI or another OpenAI-compatible service configured in Preferences. It opens repositories in several editors and IDEs. Git 2.25.1 or newer is required, and MSYS Git is unsupported on Windows. The MIT-licensed project accepts community contributions.
