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
