GitSync is a macOS app for visual Git/GitHub management directly from a graphical interface. You can sync local projects with GitHub, clone repositories, create new repositories, and run common Git workflows without using the terminal.
Visual GitHub management on macOS is a nice angle. Git tools usually make people choose between terminal power and GUI clarity. Curious what workflow you optimized for first: reviewing PRs, syncing branches, or resolving conflicts?
@vidur_saini Hi Vidur, The first workflow I optimized for was syncing branches and local repositories with GitHub. That felt like the most useful foundation: selecting a repo, linking it to a local folder, then running fetch, pull, push, commits, and different pull strategies from a clear macOS interface.
Conflict handling is supported with detection and suggestions, but complex conflicts still need manual review. PR review is not the main focus yet. The current strength of GitSync is making the everyday sync workflow easier and more visual without having to jump into the terminal.
At the moment, I don't have any plans to release a Windows or Linux version, but I appreciate your suggestion and support.

native git gui without the terminal — the real fork is libgit2 vs shelling out to the git binary. libgit2 misses some auth + partial-clone paths; shelling out means parsing porcelain that drifts each release. whichever you picked quietly shapes the whole app.

The menu bar monitoring is useful, but the ignored-file backup is the bigger painkiller. Losing or rebuilding .env files and local configs after moving machines is exactly the kind of small dev friction that adds up.

Really nice, and already have 20 requests 😊 even as an engineer I’ve always been a fan of GitHub Desktop, and think a tool like this, a bit more polished, will be the ideal companion to non-coders in Claude code /codex

Awesome, is it coming for Windows/ Linux too?
