AngKorGit - a free open source Git client for macOS/Windows/Linux, 12 MB instead of the usual 1GB Electron app

Built this because every Git GUI is either a 1GB Electron app or paid. Rust + Tauri, free, MIT licensed.

macOS: brew install --cask cheat2001/tap/angkorgit

I built AngKorGit — a free, open-source Git client (12 MB, Rust + libgit2)

Hi everyone! I'm a developer from Cambodia and for the past months I've been building AngKorGit, a free, open-source (MIT) Git client for macOS, Windows, and Linux — named after Angkor Wat.

I love GUI clients like GitKraken but wanted something lightweight and completely free. So it's built with Rust + libgit2 and the system webview (Tauri) instead of Electron — the whole download is ~12 MB, and the commit graph stays smooth on 100k-commit repos.

What it does today: visual conflict resolver (pick lines from A/B, edit the result by hand), interactive rebase, stage by file/hunk/line, drag-and-drop merge/rebase, undo/redo, built-in terminal, 16 themes, and optional AI commit messages via CLIs you already have — no account, no telemetry.

Would genuinely love feedback from people who live in Git all day — what would you need before using something like this daily?
