A desktop git client that hides the ceremony and keeps the power. A living map of every branch, staging down to the line, AI-written commit messages, calm conflicts and interactive rebase — without ever dropping you into a terminal.
Every hard thing about git — staging, conflicts, rebase, even understanding the repo itself — made effortless. The complexity lives in the engine, never in your face.
A pannable, zoomable branch explorer: the mainline on top, release lines pinned beneath it, every branch hanging off its parent. Click a commit for its changes, click a branch for everything it did since it forked — double-click to check it out. Focus a branch and its relatives, spot cherry-picked twins across release lines, and find any commit, branch or tag as you type.
Tick a checkbox to include a file — or a single hunk, or a single line. Checkboxes are pure UI; git isn't touched until the moment you commit. The button always tells you exactly what will happen.
One click turns your staged diff into a proper commit message — pick the length and tone, regenerate until it reads right. AI also suggests branch names, explains any commit in plain English, and untangles cryptic git errors. Bring your own key: it lives in the OS keychain, and your diffs go only to the provider you chose.
A single composer with a mode switch. Write a commit, amend the last one, or stash your work — each a single click. Signing is inherited from your git config, and a quiet Undo reverses the last operation when you change your mind.
Syntax-highlighted, split or unified, light or dark. The diff that ships in Pierre, rendered right inside GitGrove — so reviewing a change is a pleasure, not a chore.
Compare before and after with a swipe, an onion-skin overlay, or a pixel-difference heatmap, with zoom and pan. PNG, JPEG, TGA and more — because not every diff is text.
A clean commit log with author avatars you can filter as you type, per-file history, and line-by-line blame colored by age — who changed what, and when, without leaving the window.
GitGrove flags conflicts before you merge, then walks you through each file — keep ours, take theirs, or compare side by side. No cryptic markers, no panic.
Reorder, squash, fixup, reword or drop commits from a single dialog. The rebase is scripted behind the scenes through editor shims — so no vim, no rebase -i file, ever opens.
The small things that make a git client home — all built in, all silly-simple.
Branches wear their PR number and live CI status. Publish a branch and GitGrove offers the pull request; sign in once with your browser and credentials are answered silently.
Paste a URL, or browse and filter your GitHub repositories — including Enterprise — with live progress.
A quiet Undo reverses the last history-changing operation — and stands down the moment it's pushed, so shared history is never rewritten.
Every merge is dry-run before it happens: GitGrove tells you up front whether it will fly clean or which files will conflict.
Review any stash as a full diff, then apply, pop or drop it — with a friendly reminder when you return to a branch that has one waiting.
Open several repos side by side; GitGrove restores your session on launch and keeps recents in your dock.
Spin up a worktree for a parallel branch or update every submodule — one dialog each, no incantations.
Refreshes never take git's lock and writes are queued per repo — the UI stays instant even mid-fetch on a huge monorepo.
GitGrove ships two carefully tuned themes that match your system — and never make you squint. Drag to compare.
Free and open source. It checks quietly for updates on launch and restarts in one click.
Looking for older versions, checksums or release notes? See all builds on GitHub. You'll need git installed — GitGrove walks you through it if it isn't found.
