Hello DevHunt community! I built GitComet as a fast, Rust‑based Git GUI that keeps repos local‑first and adds precise staging, built‑in Difftastic structural diffs, and an interactive rebase editor. It works on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Would love your thoughts on the experience 😊

GitComet is a free, open-source Git client for Windows, macOS and Linux, built for developers working with large repositories and complex diffs. Written in Rust with a GPU-rendered interface, it brings visual Git workflows into a responsive desktop application. Review changes with inline or side-by-side diffs and built-in Difftastic, which compares code structure to highlight meaningful edits amid formatting changes. Stage individual lines or hunks, then clean up your branch with drag-and-drop interactive rebase, squashing and cherry-picking. A three-way merge tool resolves straightforward conflicts and lets you edit the remaining results. You can also use GitComet directly as your Git difftool or mergetool. Browse commit history, inspect blame, manage worktrees and organize repositories into workspaces. An embedded terminal and built-in editor keep everyday tasks close to your changes. Repository browsing and editing stay on your machine. No GitComet account required. Free for personal and commercial use under AGPL-3.0.

GitComet vs Visual Studio Code: VS Code is a general-purpose editor with Git extensions, not a dedicated GPU-rendered Git client.
GitComet vs Neovim: Neovim is a terminal-based editor requiring plugins for Git UI, whereas GitComet provides a full graphical Git workflow out of the box.
GitComet vs Storybook: Zed is a high-performance code editor with AI features but lacks the specialized Git history and rebase UI of GitComet.
GitComet vs Eclipse Che: Eclipse Che offers cloud-hosted workspaces and Git integration, while GitComet is a local desktop client focused on speed and privacy.
