A focused Git workspace
From commit graph to the exact line you want to stage.
Gitview keeps the everyday review loop close at hand: understand what changed, inspect the context, and choose what belongs in the index.
02
Diffs with room to think
Review line-numbered changes side by side on wide terminals, with a unified view when space is tight.
03
Stage the part you mean
Stage or unstage individual hunks, a whole file, or the full working tree from the keyboard.
04
Keep local work in context
Browse and create local branches, and apply folder-based Git config profiles to the right repositories.
