## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: version-control, gui, cli, developer-tools
- domain: version-control, developer-tools, cross-platform
- platform: cross-platform, rust, cli
