GitWand
A fast, native Git client with built-in smart conflict resolution
Desktop • Conflict engine • CLI • MCP Server • Architecture • Roadmap • Code signing
GitWand is a lightweight, native Git client built with Tauri 2 and Vue 3. It covers the full daily workflow — changes, history, branches, push/pull — and goes further with automatic resolution of trivial merge conflicts, integrated PR code review with inline comments, and a Git Tree as the primary history view. Since v1.3, AI assists every step of the workflow — branch naming, PR writing, hunk-level review, semantic squash, and natural-language commit search. v2.7+ adds multi-repo Workspaces and Worktrees; v2.8 adds Agent Sessions (MCP); v2.9 adds a cross-repo Launchpad; v2.10 brings multi-forge pull requests across GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps; v2.13 adds inline AI code review; v2.18 overlays CI check annotations directly on the diff; v2.19 adds OAuth device-flow sign-in for GitHub and Azure DevOps (no gh CLI required) plus cross-fork pull requests. The 3.x line makes GitWand a daily driver for AI-assisted work: v3.0 turns the cross-repo dashboard into Today, a triaged action inbox, and publishes the VS Code extension on the Marketplace; v3.2 adds an integrated terminal with AI agent tabs — including one-click AI tasks in isolated worktrees — and a dockable File Explorer / Editor panel.
Desktop app
Git Tree
The Git Tree is the primary history view — a full-resolution DAG that renders the branch topology as an SVG with trunk-pinning, lane cooldowns, WIP node, and ref badges. Click any commit to see its diff; right-click to checkout, reset, branch, tag, or cherry-pick. Branches, stashes, and tags are all managed from here without a separate panel. A filter mode (v3.2) recalculates the DAG to show only matching commits, with quick branch/author toggles, date-bucket separators, branch-name autocomplete, and # lookup that resolves straight to the PR's branch.
Repository view
Staged, unstaged, untracked, and conflicted files in a sidebar with inline diffs in the main area. Stage, unstage, discard, and commit without leaving the interface. Partial staging at the line or hunk level.
Commit workflow
Summary + description fields, optional commit signature, Ctrl+Enter shortcut. Unpushed commits can be amended directly from the Git Tree — a pencil icon appears on hover, opening an overlay pre-filled with the existing message.
Branches
Click the branch name in the header to search, switch, create, or delete branches. Merge any branch from the dedicated merge button. Each non-current branch shows a merge preview button that simulates the merge result before committing.
Merge preview
Before merging a branch, GitWand predicts the outcome without touching the working tree — using git merge-base, git show, and git merge-file -p --diff3. The result shows a per-file breakdown:
