Git Guis is a partial clone of git gui (just the bits I use) which fixes the following issues I have as a long-time enjoyer of git gui as a separate workspace for reviewing changes and building commits:

• git gui isn't tabbed, so you need a separate window per repo
• The wish runtime misbehaves in the macOS Dock, leaving ghost entries
• There's no keyboard shortcut for staging/unstaging selected lines

It also adds a new branch pane which contains just the bits of gitk I use (checkout, cherry-pick and reset).

Requires Node.js, npm, and Git.

npm install
npm run dev

npm run dev starts Vite on http://127.0.0.1:5173/ and launches Electron.

Run Biome and TypeScript checks:

npm run check

Apply Biome formatting and safe fixes:

npm run check:fix

npm run build     # build renderer and Electron code
npm run package   # create an unpacked application
npm run make      # create configured distributables
npm run make:mac  # create an Apple Silicon macOS zip

Build output is written to dist/, dist-electron/, and out/.
