GitButler
The GitButler version control client, backed by Git
GitButler is a modern Git-based version control client that pairs a graphical desktop experience with a complementary command-line tool, aiming to make everyday change management easier than traditional Git workflows. It keeps Git compatibility at the core, meaning your work still maps to commits, branches, and pushes to standard Git servers, but it rethinks how you interact with that underlying model. The project is designed around developer productivity, emphasizing smoother workflows for handling multiple streams of work, reviewing changes, and recovering from mistakes without the usual friction. It also positions itself for AI-assisted development patterns, where tooling needs to support rapid iteration and parallel work while staying understandable and reversible. By offering both GUI and CLI surfaces, it can fit into different team preferences, from visual-first change review to scriptable automation. -

Gitlogue
A cinematic Git commit replay tool for the terminal
Gitlogue provides a fun and creative command-line tool that turns your Git commit history into an animated replay, displaying your commits as if someone were typing the changes in real time with cinematic flair. When you run this tool in the terminal, it visually replays diffs line by line, highlights syntax, and shows changes evolving in a way that feels like watching a code story unfold, which can be entertaining and useful for reviewing history or showcasing progress. It builds on typical Git data but reshapes it into a compelling narrative with visual appeal, making it great for demos, teaching, or just savoring your development journey. The tool is standalone and designed to be easy to install and run, so users don’t need complex setups to enjoy animated commit histories. Gitlogue adds atmosphere and personality to otherwise dry version control logs, and it supports terminal-friendly output that respects your existing workflow. -

Gradle Git Version
A Gradle plugin that uses `git describe` to produce a version string
This Gradle plugin derives your project’s version directly from the state of the Git repository, turning tags and commits into consistent semantic versions. It reads the most recent tag, the number of commits since that tag, and whether the working tree is dirty, then composes a deterministic version string. Teams can enforce patterns (for example, treating non-tagged builds as snapshots) and keep CI builds reproducible without hardcoding versions in build.gradle. The plugin integrates with Gradle’s project.version, so the computed version flows automatically into publishing, packaging, and artifact naming. It works well in branching workflows by incorporating branch or distance information, making debug artifacts easy to trace back to source. By centralizing version logic around Git history, it eliminates manual bumps and reduces mistakes when cutting releases across multiple modules. -

git-bug
Distributed, offline-first bug tracker embedded in git, with bridges
git-bug is fully embedded in git, you only need your git repository to have a bug tracker. git-bug is distributed. Use your normal git remote to collaborate, push and pull your bugs! git-bug works offline, in a plane or under the sea? Keep reading and writing bugs! It prevents vendor lock-in: your usual service is down or went bad? You already have a full backup. It is fast, listing bugs or opening them is a matter of milliseconds. git-bug doesn't pollute your project, no files are added in your project. git-bug integrates with your tooling, use the UI you like (CLI, terminal, web) or integrate with your existing tools through the CLI or the GraphQL API. git-bug bridges to other bug trackers. Use bridges to import and export to other trackers. An interactive terminal UI is available using the command git bug termui to browse and edit bugs. -

libgit2
A cross-platform, portable, linkable Git implementation library
libgit2 is a portable, pure C implementation of the Git core methods provided as a re-entrant linkable library with a solid API, allowing you to write native speed custom Git applications in any language which supports C bindings. Libgit2 is developed with CMake, and this is be the easiest way to build a binary from the source. The CMake build system provides lots of options to configure the libgit2 build for your particular needs. It’s highly recommended that you build libgit2 as a static library for Xcode projects to simplify distribution significantly. libgit2 is used for powering Git GUI clients, such as gmaster and GitKraken and on Git hosting providers such as GitLab, Azure, GitHub, DevOps, among others. By clicking "merge pull request", we perform the merge. It is licensed under the GPLv2 license, so you can link it in its unmodified state with any type of software without releasing its source code. -
