GitMenuBar

A native macOS menu bar app for simple, fast Git workflows.

GitMenuBar brings essential Git operations to your Mac the way they should be. Simple, efficient, and living right in your menu bar. No complex setup, no terminal wrestling, just manage your code and keep moving.

Why GitMenuBar?

Lightweight and Efficient

GitMenuBar operates entirely from the macOS menu bar, staying out of the dock and avoiding full-window clutter. It is highly efficient, using minimal system resources and occupying only about 5.2 MB of storage.

Speed Over Complexity

Actions that usually require navigating GitHub settings, like creating new repositories, toggling between public and private visibility, or deleting repositories entirely, are now instantaneous button presses.

Built for Focus

Designed for developers who want to stay focused on their work without managing terminal commands or navigating large Git client interfaces. It removes unnecessary interface complexity and surfaces only the actions most developers need during active work.

Safety First

The application emphasizes safe workflows by clearly explaining actions and providing protective prompts when changes could lead to data loss. For operations like Wipe, it even creates automatic .git backups before proceeding.

Features:

• Instant Repository Management: Create, delete, and toggle visibility of GitHub repositories with a single click - no web browser required.
• Streamlined Workflow: View modified, staged, and untracked files and commit directly from your menu bar.
• One-Step Sync: Commit and push in a single action using ?Enter.
• Flexible Pulling & Rebasing: When your local branch is behind, syncing gives you the choice to merge, rebase, or pull changes to a fresh branch.
• Smart Branching: Switch, create, and merge branches with automatic handling of uncommitted changes.
• History & Recovery: Browse full commit history and reset to any previous state easily.
• Wipe & Restart: Perfect for project templates. Resets repository history while preserving current files, with automatic safety backups.
• Native Experience: A lightweight (5.2 MB) Swift app that lives in your menu bar and stays out of your way.
