GitButler is a modern Git-based version control client with a desktop GUI and a CLI, built with Tauri, Rust, and Svelte. It offers stacked and parallel branches, unlimited undo, commit mutations, and forge integrations, designed for both humans and AI-powered workflows.

Use cases

• manage stacked branches in git
• visual git client for desktop
• undo commits easily in git
• cli for git branch management
• git interface for ai coding agents
• replace git gui with modern client
• work with multiple branches in parallel

When to choose

• you want a friendlier, more powerful interface over existing Git repos
• you need stacked or parallel branch workflows
• you want AI/agent-friendly version control tooling
• you want both a GUI and a CLI for Git

When to avoid

• you prefer vanilla Git commands and minimal tooling
• you need a fully permissively-licensed tool (license is non-standard)
• you only need a lightweight terminal-only Git experience
