Hello community 👋

I've been developing Gitember - a free, open-source desktop Git client - since 2016.

It all started as a weekend experiment, and now version 3.4 is out. I recently added Workspace feature to work with multiple independent Git repositories as a single working set. This is useful if the project consists of, for example, backend + frontend, a set of microservices or core + plugins. At the same time, the repositories remain completely independent - no submodules, subtrees or monorepo.

What Workspace gives you:

• one Dashboard with the status of all repositories;
• Pull / Push / Fetch / Merge / Commit for all repositories in one operation;
• create branches in multiple repositories at once, commit changes to multiple repositories from one dialog;
• shared Working Copy tree for viewing changes;
• search the contents of all repositories at once;
• separate result for each repo, if something went wrong during the batch operation.

Workspace was born from a feature request about such a workflow: when several repositories logically work together, but you don't want to combine them into a monorepo or link them via submodules.

Also, gitember cover the usual needs and has very interesting additional functions - full-text search by history (including Office, PDF, CAD, images), Git LFS, integration with GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket/Gitea, repository statistics, file and folder comparison.

Need contributers

If you work with Java/microservices/multi-repo projects, I would be very happy to receive feedback, bugs, PR, and just testing.

Привіт, спільното 👋

Я з 2016 року розвиваю Gitember - безкоштовний Git десктоп-клієнт з відкритим кодом.

Усе почалося як експеримент на вихідні, а зараз вийшла версія 3.4. Нещодавно додав Workspace для роботи з кількома незалежними Git-репозиторіями як з одним робочим набором. Це особливо корисно, якщо проєкт складається, наприклад, з backend + frontend, набору мікросервісів або core + plugins. При цьому репозиторії залишаються повністю незалежними - ніяких submodules, subtrees чи monorepo.

Що дає Workspace:

• один Dashboard зі статусом усіх репозиторіїв;
• Pull / Push / Fetch / Merge/ Commit для всіх репозиторіїв однією операцією;
• створення branch одразу в кількох репозиторіях, commit змін у кількох репозиторіях з одного діалогу;
• спільний Working Copy tree для перегляду змін;
• пошук по вмісту всіх репозиторіїв одразу;
• окремий результат по кожному repo, якщо під час batch operation щось пішло не так.

Workspace народився саме з feature request про такий workflow: коли кілька репозиторіїв логічно працюють разом, але об'єднувати їх у monorepo або зв'язувати через submodules не хочеться.

Також gitember задовольняє звичайні потреби та має дуже цікаві додаткові функції - повнотекстовий пошук по історії (включно з Office, PDF, CAD, зображеннями), Git LFS, інтеграція з GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket/Gitea, статистика репозиторію, порівняння файлів і тек.

Зараз особливо потрібні люди котри модуть доєднатися до проекту. Хочеться перевірити Workspace на реальних multi-repo проектах і зрозуміти, яких сценаріїв ще не вистачає. Самому просто не вистачає часу.

Якщо працюєте з Java/microservices/multi-repo проектами — буду дуже радий feedback, багам, PR і просто тестуванню.

I've been building Gitember since 2016 — a free, open-source Git desktop client. It has been started as weekend experiment. And now version 3.2 is out with new features:

• Worktrees - full UI support for creating, switching, and removing worktrees. If you juggle hotfix branches while keeping a long-running feature branch alive, this is the workflow improvement you've been waiting for.
• 3-way merge conflict resolver - BASE / OURS / THEIRS side-by-side. Pick a side, edit inline, stage with one click. No separate merge tool to install.
• AI-assisted writing (experimental)- explain what changed between two branches in plain language, secret leak detection ( is your GPU good enough ?)

It also covers everyday Git stuff (commit, branch, diff, etc.), but one thing I personally rely on a lot:

• search through history including non-text formats (Office docs, DWG, PSD, etc.)
• arbitrary file/folder comparison

The last one very useful feature in our days, when need quikly compare a lot of AI changes
