About Gitpulsar
Gitpulsar is a complete Git client built natively for GNOME. Written in Rust
with GTK4 and libadwaita, it stays fast and lightweight while giving you the
full Git workflow without ever leaving the keyboard or reaching for the terminal.
Unlike browser-wrapped Git apps, Gitpulsar is a single small binary that follows
your system theme, respects your accent color preferences, and feels like a
first-class GNOME application. It runs offline, sends nothing to the cloud, and
uses zero telemetry.
Why choose Gitpulsar:
Native GNOME look and feel — libadwaita widgets, dark and light themes, dynamic colors
Multi-repository workspace — open a folder, see all repos with live status indicators (modified, untracked, ahead of remote)
Adaptive layout — works from a 4K monitor down to a 360 px phone screen (Phosh, postmarketOS)
Low CPU and memory — Rust core with smart background polling that pauses when the window isn't focused
No telemetry, no account, no cloud — your code stays on your machine
What you can do:
Browse history with a paginated commit log, search, and an integrated branch graph
Stage and unstage by file, by hunk, or by individual line — with drag and drop
Commit with conventional commit prefixes (feat, fix, docs…) and one-click Co-Authored-By trailers
Undo and redo staging operations and even file discards
Resolve merge conflicts in a three-panel visual editor
Run interactive rebase with reorder, squash, fixup, reword, edit, and drop actions
