Gitty Logo # Gitty **A lightweight, modern Git client built with Tauri.** Fast, simple, and designed for developers who want a clean Git experience without unnecessary complexity.
--- ## ✨ Features - 🚀 Fast native performance - 🌿 Branch management - 📝 Commit history - 🔄 Pull, Push & Fetch - 🔀 Merge & Rebase - 📦 Repository management - ☁️ GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, and Gitea integrations - 🗄️ Git LFS detection, tracking and object management - 🎨 Modern and intuitive UI --- ## 🛠️ Built With - **Tauri** - **Rust** - **Svelte** --- ## 🚧 Status Gitty is currently under active development. Contributions, feedback and feature requests are always welcome! --- ## 📄 License MIT License --- ## Arch Linux Install Gitty from the AUR with an AUR helper: ```bash yay -S gitty-desktop ``` To install the prebuilt native Arch package instead of compiling from source: ```bash yay -S gitty-desktop-bin ``` Or build the AUR package manually: ```bash git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/gitty-desktop.git cd gitty-desktop makepkg -si ``` The source recipe downloads the public Gitea release archive and builds Gitty. The `-bin` recipe repackages the native `.pkg.tar.zst` release artifact. The release pipeline updates both packages' versions, checksums, and `.SRCINFO` files. --- ## Command line Open an existing repository when Gitty starts: ```text gitty.exe --repo "D:\Projects\ExistingRepo" ``` Clone a remote into an exact local target folder and open it immediately: ```text gitty.exe --clone "https://example.com/team/project.git" "D:\Projects\Project" gitty clone "git@example.com:team/project.git" "D:\Projects\Project" ``` `--clone=` is also accepted. Relative target paths are resolved from the current working directory. Clone and repository requests are forwarded to the running window when Gitty is already open. --- ## Git hosting integrations Gitty connects to GitHub, GitLab.com, GitLab Self-Managed, Azure DevOps, and Gitea from **Settings → Integrations**. Each connection uses a personal access token that is stored in the operating system keychain instead of application settings. Azure DevOps can manage multiple organizations with separate URLs, usernames, and tokens. After enabling a connection, open **Clone → Integrations** to load the repositories available to that account. Repositories are sorted alphabetically and can be filtered, refreshed, selected, and cloned directly with the stored credentials. --- ## Git LFS Gitty bundles the `git-lfs` executable in its desktop installers and checks it at runtime before offering LFS actions. Arch packages also declare `git-lfs` as a dependency so Git hooks and command-line workflows outside Gitty use the same extension. The repository toolbar exposes LFS setup, tracked patterns, object downloads, and safe cache pruning. After every successful clone or pull, Gitty detects LFS usage and automatically downloads the required LFS objects with the same remote and credentials, so no second pull is needed. Fresh clones also get repository-local LFS filters and the pre-push hook before they are opened.
