    Don’t be put off by the fact that it runs on both Windows & Mac. It is not an Electron app, and feels native on both platforms. Powerful and frequently updated, with built-in merging. And currently free.

    GitUp is a bet to invent a new Git interaction model that lets engineers of all levels work quickly, safely, and without headaches. It's unlike any other Git client out there from the way it’s built (it interacts directly with the Git database on disk), to the way it works...
