What Gittyup is

Gittyup is a graphical Git client for viewing and managing source code history. It is open source software developed by volunteers, licensed under MIT along with its predecessor GitAhead, and available for Linux, macOS and Windows. A single-branch history view focuses on the selected branch, while repository tabs let users switch between repositories.

The diff view supports staging and unstaging changes, blame, and staging individual lines. The blame view includes a timeline showing who changed each line. Commit tools include amending and starring commits and using commit message templates. For rebases, Gittyup supports resolving conflicts and continuing once the conflicts are solved. Its changelog notes support for Gitea instances. The project lists English, German, Spanish, Japanese, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese and Russian language support. Building from the repository requires Qt 6.4 or later as an external dependency, alongside included libgit2. Users can ask questions on Stack Overflow with the gittyup tag, report bugs through the issue tracker or visit the Matrix channel.
