Tauri Git

日本語版はこちら

Minimal Git GUI built with Tauri, Svelte, and Rust.

Overview

Tauri Git is a desktop Git client focused on a compact workflow:

• Open a local Git repository
• Inspect working tree status
• Browse commit history
• Commit changes
• Amend the latest commit from the commit dialog
• Create and apply stashes
• Fetch, pull, and push
• Force-push amended or diverged branches with an explicit confirmation flow
• Show pending pull / push commit counts in the top bar and next to local branches in the sidebar
• Browse branches and remotes in a tree view
• Browse tags and jump from a tag to its commit in history
• Checkout, create, rebase, reset, and delete branches
• Revert a commit with an editable revert commit message
• Manage linked worktrees: list, add, and remove; double-click to switch

Release Build Notes

macOS

Unsigned or non-notarized macOS builds may be blocked by Gatekeeper with a message such as "The app is damaged and can't be opened."

If you trust the downloaded release, move Tauri Git.app into Applications and remove the quarantine attribute:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Tauri Git.app"

After that, launch the app again.

Only do this for releases you trust. If the app still does not open, the downloaded file itself may be corrupted.

Windows

On Windows, Microsoft Defender SmartScreen may show a warning such as "Windows protected your PC" when launching a downloaded release.

If you trust the downloaded release, use this flow:

1. Click More info.
2. Confirm that the publisher and file name match the release you downloaded.
3. Click Run anyway.

Only do this for releases you trust. If the warning appears for a file from an unexpected source, cancel the launch and verify the download first.

Development

Prerequisites

• Node.js
• npm
• Rust toolchain
• Tauri prerequisites for your platform
• Git installed and available in PATH

Install dependencies

npm install

Run in development

npm run tauri dev

Build frontend

npm run build

Verify a Windows release build during development

If you want to test the Windows release app locally, use:

npm run tauri build

Then launch:

.\src-tauri\target\release\tauri_git.exe

Notes:

• Use npm run tauri build for release verification. This bundles the built frontend assets into the Tauri app.
• cargo build --release is useful for Rust compile checks, but it is not the right command for verifying the packaged desktop app behavior.
• If you launch an executable produced by cargo build --release, the app may try to open http://localhost:1420 and show ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED.

Project Structure

src/        Svelte frontend
src-tauri/  Tauri + Rust backend

Notes

• Some Git operations are implemented through the system git command for compatibility with familiar workflows.
• The application currently targets a minimal desktop workflow rather than full parity with large Git GUI clients.
• The side-by-side compare view is available from both commit details and the changes panel.
• Standard text diffs are supported, and git-crypt-managed files have a dedicated fallback path for compare views.
• Custom diff/filter/textconv setups other than git-crypt are not currently supported in compare views and may show no comparable diff.
• Theme preference is persisted and restored automatically on the next launch.
• Pane widths are persisted and restored automatically on the next launch.
• Window size is persisted and restored automatically on the next launch. Window position restore is limited on Linux Wayland sessions.
