GitX is a native macOS graphical client for the Git version control system, designed to simplify repository inspection and source code management. It provides a visual environment for examining commit histories, branches, and changes between revisions. Developers can review file modifications and manage common version control operations without relying exclusively on terminal commands. The application supports standard SHA-1 Git repositories using traditional reference storage or the newer reftable backend. It can also work with bare repositories and linked worktrees without converting their reference storage formats. GitX includes a command-line launcher for opening repositories from the terminal. The project consolidates earlier GitX forks into a community-maintained application. It supports Intel and Apple Silicon Macs and can be installed through Homebrew or downloadable releases.
