BlueGit

Git history viewer · macOS, Windows, Linux

See where every branch went.

BlueGit draws your Git history as a clear graph of branches and commits, with the diff of every change one click away.

What it does

Your repository, readable at a glance

Open any folder with a Git repository and BlueGit shows its whole story: who changed what, where each branch came from and where it ended up.

A graph that keeps its lanes

Every branch keeps its column and its color from the fork to the tip, so you can follow it without squinting. Merges, HEAD and uncommitted changes each have their own mark.

Commit details and diffs

Message, author, parents and changed files, with a line-numbered diff. Double-click a file to open it, or open the version it had in that commit.

Local changes, staged or not

Uncommitted work appears at the top of the graph. See what is staged, unstaged or untracked, with its diff, and move files between groups with a click.

Find any commit

Search by message, author, email, SHA or branch name and step through the matches. Show all branches, only local ones, or just the history of the current one.

Safe actions only

Fetch from every remote, pull with fast-forward only, check out branches and create branches or tags. BlueGit never merges or rewrites history on its own.

Help that draws the answer

The built-in help explains HEAD, fast-forward and merge with live diagrams, and a demo repository lets you try every feature without touching a real project.

Screenshots

Native on the Mac, at home on Windows and Linux
