GitBrains
v0.1.0
Non-modal Commit Tool Window, Myers 3-Way Merge with Magic Wand (🪄), 2-Pass Canvas DAG Topology Graph, and Visual Interactive Rebase. Zero native binary dependencies.
Pure React 19 UI panels running directly in your browser. Switch tabs below to experience each tool.
Every JetBrains Git feature has been accurately reimagined for maximum speed, clarity, and zero cognitive overhead.
Three-pane synchronized diff engine (*Left: Current, Center: Result, Right: Incoming*). The Magic Wand (🪄) algorithm automatically applies non-conflicting hunks with one click, leaving only true semantic ambiguities for manual resolution.
2-Pass DAG topological sort and dynamic lane slot recycling. Renders high-DPI smooth Bezier curves at 60fps with JetBrains' signature 16-color branch palette.
Reorder commits effortlessly via drag-and-drop or Alt+↑/↓. Single-key action switches (P R S D).
Non-modal commit workflow. Organize modified files across multiple custom changelists via drag & drop. Line-level hunk staging and instant Amend toggle.
Store uncommitted modifications under .git/gitbrains/shelves/ without polluting global git stash. Preview color diffs and restore anytime.
