Git Browse
A Finder-style Git browser for your local repos
A local git GUI that runs in your browser — no Electron, no cloud, no account. Three-panel UI for browsing commits, staging, and diffing anything. Branch management shows ahead/behind at a glance; interactive rebase works via buttons, not vim pick-lists. One diff toolkit covers branches, folders, and files. Repo-wide grep, an insights dashboard, and a ⌘K command palette that doubles as documentation. ~3,500 lines of TypeScript. Open source, MIT.
Hey everyone! I'm Lijo — two decades in real-time media engineering, and these days deep in AI/voice systems. But every day, I still live in git, switching between the terminal and GUI tools that felt either too heavy (Electron) or too thin (a glorified log viewer).
I wanted something that ran as a lightweight local server — no Electron, no account, no telemetry — but didn't skip the stuff I actually use daily: ahead/behind badges on every branch, interactive rebase without opening vim, and one diff view that works the same whether I'm comparing branches, folders, or pasted clipboard text.
It started as a simple three-panel browser — explorer, log, diff — and grew from there: branch management, stash, tags, repo-wide grep, even a commit-heatmap insights dashboard. The biggest change came late, when I swapped a crowded toolbar for a ⌘K command palette that doubles as the app's own documentation — every command shows its shortcut right there.
It's open source (MIT), about 3,500 lines of TypeScript, and something I genuinely use every day. Would love feedback, especially on what's missing from your own git workflow!
