⚙️ How it works
- Install GitPeak and open any folder with a Git repository.
- Click the GitPeak icon in the Activity Bar — your commit graph, changes, and branches load instantly.
- Stage and commit with one click, or drop into the Conflict Center / Interactive Rebase GUI when things get hard.
Beginner-friendly defaults are on from the first launch. Flip the Pro toggle anytime to reveal the full power set — nothing to configure, nothing to learn up front.
Why GitPeak
Most Git tools make you choose: powerful or approachable. GitPeak refuses the tradeoff. Every surface follows one principle —
Fast for experts. Safe for beginners. Visual for everyone.
Advanced power is there the moment you want it, and completely out of the way until then. Nothing to learn before your first commit; nothing missing when you're rebasing five branches before lunch.
- It actually shows your history. A true multi-lane commit graph — real branches, real merges — not a flat list pretending to be one.
- Conflicts stop being scary. A three-pane resolver with per-hunk accept and one-click AI resolution.
- You never lose work. Smart Checkout stashes, switches, and restores for you. Safe Push warns before force. No silent surprises.
- It respects you. Zero telemetry. Works fully offline. Runs in air-gapped and government environments — including first-class Gitea support.
See it
A commit graph you can read at a glance
Branches and merges render as real lanes with color. Click any commit to expand its files inline, then click a file to open a side-by-side diff. History becomes something you explore, not squint at.
Commit with confidence
A clean message box and one Commit All button by default — every advanced tool tucked behind an opt-in. Generate a conventional-commit message with AI, or just type and ship. Click any changed file to preview the diff before you stage it.
Branches and remotes, minus the clutter
Slim, single-line branches with type-aware accents and actions that appear only on hover. Manage multiple remotes — push or fetch them all at once — with provider auto-detection for GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Gitea.
Everything inside

- Multi-lane commit graph with merge curves, refs, and tags

Do the everyday safely

Built for the enterprise
