Why GitTree exists

Most developers spend part of every day reading history, staging changes and untangling branches. The command line is precise but hides the shape of a repository; many visual clients show the shape but put private repositories, Linux builds or careful history editing behind a subscription.

GitTree is built to do both: show the whole repository at a glance, and make the risky parts of Git safer, with conflict warnings before a merge, snapshots before anything destructive and a toolbar Undo, without charging for private repositories and on all three desktop systems.

Every action runs through your own Git, so what GitTree does is exactly what the command line would do, and you can always open the built-in terminal to check.

What we will not compromise on

• Your code stays on your computer

  GitTree talks only to your remotes, the accounts you connect, the GitTree account service and an update check you can switch off.

• Zero telemetry

  No analytics, tracking or crash uploads of any kind. Crash reports stay on your computer until you choose to share one.

• Your own Git, your own config

  GitTree never bundles Git and never edits your Git config, repository or SSH folder without asking.

• Honest comparisons

  Our comparison pages cite the other products’ official pages, show the date they were checked and say where another tool is the better fit.

Not to be confused with

• GitTree is not the git-tree command-line wrapper or any other terminal tool: it is a desktop app with a graphical interface.
• GitTree is not a website that draws the file tree of a repository: you install it and open your own repositories.
• GitTree is not affiliated with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Microsoft or the Git project; it works with all of them.
