What is Gitby?

Gitby is a terminal app that helps teams avoid merge conflicts by letting members claim files, folders or whole repositories before editing them. It runs on macOS, Linux and Windows, works on top of GitHub, and has a free plan for small teams.

When a file is claimed, teammates see the claim in their terminals and on a web dashboard, and the file becomes read-only for them until it is released or handed over. Others can request a claimed file, and every request, grant and denial is logged. Claims are enforced through operating system file permissions, so they work in any editor without a plugin, and a push that includes a file the user doesn't hold is blocked before it leaves their machine.

The same interface covers everyday Git work: commits, pushes, branches, file-by-file sync with a merge step, reverts, commit graph and reflog browsing, diffs and worktrees. It also supports notes pinned to files or lines, team-level metrics on the dashboard and, on paid plans, team chat. Code stays on GitHub; Gitby stores only coordination data such as paths, claims, requests and activity.
