The first public release of Forkyard: a fast, local Git client for the desktop with a real commit graph, line staging, a three-way merge tool and an Undo button for Git. No account, no telemetry, no cloud.

History and graph

  • Commit graph with branch lanes, merge lines, ref labels and a WIP row, laid out in Rust and drawn on a canvas
  • Search by message, SHA and author; file history and blame
  • Compare any two commits, or a commit with your working directory
  • Pin, hide or solo branches; smart branch visibility for large repositories

Committing

  • Stage files, hunks or single lines – CRLF, Latin-1 and missing final newlines included
  • Amend, commit and push in one step, commit templates, co-author trailers
  • Side-by-side and inline diff with word-level highlighting and syntax colours
  • Built-in editor with Markdown preview

Branching and merging

  • Drag a branch onto another to merge, rebase or open a pull request
  • Interactive rebase: pick, reword, squash, drop and reorder
  • Three-pane conflict tool with an editable result
  • Cherry-pick, revert, reset (soft/mixed/hard), stashes with names and per-file apply

Everything around it

  • Undo for Git: destructive actions create a backup ref first, so Ctrl+Z brings your work back
  • Tabs for several repositories, workspaces, profiles (e.g. work and private)
  • Settings on three levels: global, per profile, per project (identity, SSH key, pull mode)
  • HTTPS and SSH credentials in the OS keychain, SSH key generation, proxy and custom CA
  • GitHub and GitLab: pull requests and issues through the official APIs
  • Worktrees, submodules, Git LFS, Git Flow, commit signing (GPG/SSH), hooks
  • Repositories whose config or hooks would run programs stay locked until you trust them
  • Command palette, keyboard shortcuts, embedded terminal, light and dark theme, English and German

Installers for Windows (x64, ARM64), macOS (Apple Silicon, Intel) and Linux (.deb, .rpm, .AppImage) are attached below; SHA256SUMS.txt lists the checksums. Forkyard needs Git 2.39 or newer.
