Commit graph
Every branch, remote and tag in colour-coded lanes, with author avatars from Gravatar and clear branch labels.
Git, at a glance.
Every repo, one click.
GitDesk is a fast, native Git client for macOS. It shows your commit graph, pulls all your repositories at once, and lets you squash before you push. It's a 2 MB app, and it's free.
Features
Everything you use every day, nothing you don't
A familiar three-pane layout: repositories on the left, the commit graph in the middle and your changes on the right, with Pull and Push at the top.
Pull All
See every repository's branch, changes and ahead/behind counts in one table, then update them all with one click.
Squash before you push
Pushing a fix to your last commit? Tick “Amend previous commit” and GitDesk pushes it safely with --force-with-lease.
Reuse commit messages
Use your last message again, or pick from recent ones in any repo. Handy when one task touches several repositories.
⌘P for everything
Type a few letters to run an action, jump to a repository or check out a branch, without touching the mouse.
Add, scan or clone
Add repositories one at a time, scan a folder to find them all at once, or clone a new one from its URL.
Stage, diff & stash
Stage or discard single files, read line-numbered diffs, and stash and pop your work in progress.
Add to .gitignore
Right-click a changed file to ignore it, the folder it's in, or every file with the same extension.
All Repositories
Start the day with one click
One view shows every repository you work on. Press Pull All and they're all brought up to date.
- Safe by design: Pull All only fast-forwards, so it never creates merge commits or conflicts.
- See what needs attention: changed files, and commits to pull or push, for every repo.
- Runs in parallel, with a result shown for each repository.
Command palette
Press ⌘P, type, done
Every action, repository and branch is a few keystrokes away. Results narrow as you type, and close matches still turn up.
- Actions: pull, push, fetch, stash, commit and more.
- Repositories: “Open storefront” switches straight to it.
- Branches: check out any local or remote branch.

Download
Get GitDesk.dmg, the latest version. Older versions are on the releases page.
Drag to Applications
Open the DMG and drag GitDesk onto the Applications folder.
Open it
Launch GitDesk, then add your repositories with ⌘O, or scan a whole folder with ⇧⌘O.
First launch: GitDesk isn't notarised by Apple yet, so macOS will say it can't verify the developer. Open
System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway. Or run
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/GitDesk.app in Terminal. You only need to do this once.
macOS 14 Sonoma or later
Apple Silicon or Intel

xcode-select --install if you don't have it)
