What you get
See exactly what changed and choose what goes into your commits.
Gitfox gives you a visual way to review and manage your Git repositories on your Mac. You can compare any two commits, inspect changes side by side, and spot edits within individual lines. Image comparisons help you check that the intended assets are included, while line-by-line staging lets you separate mixed work into focused commits.
When branches conflict, you can resolve differences in Gitfox or open your preferred merge tool directly. Full-text search with highlighted matches helps you locate relevant text. You can also handle branches, tags, merges, rebases, and cherry-picks through the interface, with Git-Flow support for organizing features, fixes, and releases.
If you work across projects or organizations, you can keep several Git identities and set a default for each repository. That means you don’t have to choose your identity again for every commit.
-
Review changes precisely
You can compare commits side by side, see highlighted line edits, and check image changes before committing.
-
Keep commits focused
You can stage individual lines so unrelated changes don’t have to land in the same commit.
-
Work through merge conflicts
You can resolve conflicts in Gitfox or launch your preferred external merge tool directly.
-
Use the right identity
You can set a default Git identity for each repository when working across personal, client, or organizational projects.
Best for
- You want to review Git changes visually
- You need to split mixed edits into focused commits
- You commit across projects with different identities
Skip it if
You don’t need it if you don’t use Git or are satisfied managing your repositories entirely from the command line.
