- **Instant search across the entire repo** including diff contents,
- A **ridiculously fast UI**, often faster than the command line.

In addition, GitUp’s core and main UI elements are available as an open-source framework, [GitUpKit](#gitupkit). You can use it to build your very own Git GUI! GitUpKit has already enabled the creation of some unique apps:

*GitUp was created by [@swisspol](https://github.com/swisspol) in late 2014 as a bet to reinvent the way developers interact with Git. After several months of work, it was made available in pre-release early 2015 and reached the [top of Hacker News](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9653978) along with being [featured by Product Hunt](http://www.producthunt.com/tech/gitup-1) and [Daring Fireball](http://daringfireball.net/linked/2015/06/04/gitup). 30,000 lines of code later, GitUp reached 1.0 mid-August 2015 and was released open source as a gift to the developer community.*
