Download GitTree free: the Git GUI for Mac, Windows and Linux

Both are available. Use Get it from Microsoft Store for the Store-signed Windows edition; the link opens in a new tab, where you can continue in the Microsoft Store app. Choose Download Windows EXE for a standalone x64 download. The direct EXE is currently unsigned, and Store certification does not cover it.

Yes. One download runs natively on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs.

Yes. The Free plan covers every Git feature, private repositories and commercial use included, with no licence key, no account and no credit card. GitTree Pro, 100% off right now, adds Nour, the AI assistant, the hosting integrations, AI commit-message and pull request drafting, and creating organizations; the Pricing page compares the plans.

No. GitTree runs the Git already on your computer, version 2.39 or newer, and tells you if it is missing or too old. On macOS, install the Xcode Command Line Tools (xcode-select --install) or Git from Homebrew. On Windows, download Git for Windows from git-scm.com. On Linux, use your package manager, for example sudo apt install git; on Ubuntu 22.04 add the git-core PPA first. The free tutorial lesson “Install Git and preview a safe commit identity” walks through each step.

The Mac app is signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple. The Windows Microsoft Store edition is signed and distributed by Microsoft. The direct Windows EXE is currently unsigned and may trigger SmartScreen; Store certification does not sign that separate installer. The Linux .deb and AppImage are unsigned. Direct releases include SHA256SUMS.txt to check file integrity; a checksum does not verify the publisher.

The Windows Microsoft Store edition gets updates through Microsoft Store. Direct installations check GitHub for a newer release and offer to install it; you can turn that check off in Preferences. This page offers the latest direct installers. The Store version may arrive on a different schedule, and updates keep your settings and repositories.

Not yet. The Windows build is a 64-bit (x64) installer for Windows 10 (22H2) and Windows 11. It needs Git for Windows 2.39 or newer, which GitTree uses for every Git command.

Yes. GitTree runs on 64-bit (x86_64) Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and 24.04 LTS or later and Debian 12 or later, and it can run on derivatives that ship WebKitGTK 4.1, such as Linux Mint 21+ and Pop!_OS 22.04+ (only Ubuntu and Debian are tested). Download the .deb package (recommended) or the portable AppImage; the Linux page has the full install guide.

The .deb package is recommended on Ubuntu and Debian: apt installs GitTree with the packages it needs and can remove it again. The AppImage is portable: make it executable and run it, without installing anything.

GitTree needs Git 2.39 or newer, and Ubuntu 22.04 and Linux Mint 21 ship Git 2.34, so the app shows “This Git is too old”. Update Git from the Git PPA (sudo add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa, then sudo apt update and sudo apt install git) and open GitTree again. Ubuntu 24.04 and Debian 12 already have a Git that is new enough.

No. The .deb and the AppImage are unsigned. To check your download, compare its checksum (sha256sum <file>) with SHA256SUMS.txt, which is attached to every release on GitHub.
