GitUp for MAC
Free, open-source Git client for Mac: a live, interactive repo graph with unlimited undo, snapshots and instant search. Fast and visual.
GitUp Overview
GitUp is a Git client for the Mac that aims to let engineers of every level work quickly, safely and without headaches. Its live, interactive repository graph lets you edit, reorder, fix up and merge commits directly, and it offers unlimited undo and redo of almost every operation, even rebases and merges. Time Machine-like snapshots give you one-click rollbacks to earlier states of your repository.
GitUp also has tools that Git itself does not, such as a visual commit splitter and a unified reflog browser, plus instant search across the whole repository, including diff contents, and a very fast interface. It works directly with the Git database. GitUp was created by Pierre-Olivier Latour and is free and open source under the GPL-3.0 license. Version 1.5.0 brings a Tahoe design and system SSH keys. It is a universal app for Apple Silicon and Intel and needs macOS 12.4 or later.
