Speed is a feature.

GitComet is built for teams that want fast Git operations with local-first privacy, familiar workflows, and open source freedom.

Available for Linux, Windows and macOS.

Fast

Built end-to-end in Rust for speed and efficiency using smol, gix, and gpui for operations.

Free

Free to use for individuals and organizations.

Familiar

Familiar history browsing and drop-in difftool and mergetool compatibility.

Why GitComet

GitComet started from frustration with existing tools on huge codebases like Chromium. We could not find a product that stays responsive and functional when browsing large repositories and file diffs.
