Gitbox is a nice little interface for Git. I wrote it primarily for myself and my friends to optimize everyday operations. Go download the app from the website and come back here for details.

Gitbox displays each repository in a little separate window. Each window has 3 parts: branches toolbar, the history and the stage.

Toolbar makes branch operations a lot simpler. You always see which branch you are on and which remote branch is associated with it. Branch menus let you checkout existing branch, a new branch, remote branch or a tag.

The history shows commits for both the current local branch and remote branch. Commits which are not pushed yet have a little green icon, so you will never forget to push your changes. Commits on the remote branch which are not yet merged (pulled) are marked with a blue icon and a light-grey text. And you may switch remote and local branches to compare them.

Stage shows the changes in the working directory. You may stage and unstage a change using checkboxes or just select changes you want to commit and press “Commit” button.

Gitbox updates stage status every time you focus its window and fetches remote branch commits while in background.

Gitbox will be free for a limited amount of time. Prices and conditions will be announced later. Check for updates regularly!
