Open Source Rust Git GUI Clients

GitUI provides you with the comfort of a git GUI but right in your terminal. I do most of my git work in a terminal but I frequently found myself using git GUIs for some use-cases like index, commit, diff, stash, blame, and log. Unfortunately, popular git GUIs all fail on giant repositories or become unresponsive and unusable. GUI provides you with the user experience and comfort of a git GUI but right in your terminal while being portable, fast, free and open source. The simplest way to start playing around with gitui is to have cargo build and install it with cargo install gitui. gitui should automatically work on both light and dark terminal themes. However, you can customize everything to your liking. Browse commit log, diff committed changes. Scalable terminal UI layout. Async git API for fluid control.

GitComet is a free, open-source Git desktop client designed for fast version control workflows across Windows, macOS, and Linux. Built with Rust and GPUI, it emphasizes responsiveness when working with large repositories and extensive file changes. Users can stage modifications, create commits, manage branches, and synchronize repositories with remote servers. Its visual diff viewer supports inline and side-by-side comparisons for reviewing code changes. Integrated two-way and three-way merge tools help resolve conflicting modifications. Multiple repositories and Git worktrees can be managed within the same workspace. Advanced capabilities include Git LFS operations, git-annex management, and browsing bare repositories. GitComet also works as an external Git diff or merge tool and keeps repository operations local by default.
