Gitember v 3

---

A free, open-source Git GUI client for Linux, Windows, and macOS. Fast, lightweight, and packed with features that make everyday Git work a pleasure.

What's new in v3: The GUI has been completely rewritten, replacing the heavy JavaFX runtime. The result is a significantly smaller download, faster startup, and lower memory usage — while adding first-class integrations with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Gitea. JavaFX version still available in the branch or by tag

Why Gitember?

• Powerful diff viewer — unified, context, and side-by-side modes with syntax highlighting for 40+ languages
• Folder comparison tool — compare entire directory trees and spot added / removed / changed files at a glance
• Arbitrary file comparison tool
• Interactive rebase
• 3-way conflict resolution
• Pull Request review — browse and review PRs from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and self-hosted Gitea without leaving the app
• Advanced full-text search — search commits, file contents, Office documents, PDFs, images, and CAD files across the entire history
• Repository statistics — commit frequency, lines changed per author, branch activity
• Git LFS support — manage large binary assets with built-in LFS tooling
