GitRoot
The git GUI that teaches you git while you use it.
GitRoot explains what every button actually does before it runs, and what happened after, in plain language, not raw git output. Safe commands run instantly. Anything that could lose work stops.
Hey! 👋
I built GitRoot because I was tired of git GUIs that just replace
"git commit" with a button and call it a day. You click it, something
happens, and you still don't actually know what.
GitRoot does one thing differently: every button tells you what it
actually did, in plain language, plus the exact git command it ran
underneath. Pull, and instead of raw output you get "pulled 3 commits
from origin/main." Try something that could lose work (a hard reset,
a force push) and it stops and shows you exactly what you'd lose
before anything runs.
Still early beta: Windows and Linux builds are up now, macOS is on
its way. Would genuinely love feedback, especially from anyone who's
still a little shaky on git, that's exactly who I built this for.
