Helps you Work with Git 12

What you get

You can review, commit, and reorganize changes in one Git repository.

Git Browser Lite gives you a graphical place to handle your Git work in one repository at a time. You can check its current status, read commit history, save changes as commits, and exchange updates with a remote through push, fetch, and pull. That lets you carry out routine repository work through an interface rather than typing each Git command.

When your work splits into branches, you can create branches and tags, then merge changes back together. You can also rebase, cherry-pick specific commits, or squash revisions when you need to reorganize your history. To inspect file changes, you can use an external diff tool such as BBEdit, Beyond Compare, or Visual Studio Code.

The main constraint is repository scope: Lite supports only one repository at a time. If you need support for more repositories, you would need the full version.
