About the project

I started out writing GitFourchette in my spare time to scratch my itch for a Git UI I’d feel cozy in. After plenty of “dogfooding it” to develop my other projects, I’m finally taking the plunge and releasing it publicly—maybe it’ll become your favorite Git client too.

Translations welcome

Feel free to localize GitFourchette for your language on Weblate—it's quick and easy, no need to set up any development tools. See also our localization guide.

Donate 🩷

GitFourchette is free—both as in beer and as in freedom. But if it helped you get work done, feel free to buy me a coffee! Any contribution will encourage the continuation of the project. Thank you!
