Trunk

A fast, native desktop Git GUI. Open any repository, read its history as a commit graph, stage work, and commit without touching the terminal.

Why

Most Git GUIs feel heavy or hide what Git is doing. Trunk renders the full commit graph with virtual scrolling, so a 50k-commit history scrolls as smoothly as a tiny one. The graph topology gets computed in Rust through libgit2, not pieced together from CLI output.

Features

• Commit graph with branch, tag, and stash labels and distinct merge dots
• Staging files or everything, then commit with a message and body
• Diffs for any commit, staged change, or working-tree change
• Branches checkout, create, merge, and rebase
• Remotes pull, push, and fetch
• Stashes create and pop
• Interactive rebase with a reorder-and-edit editor
• Code review with inline comments anchored to diff lines
• Live updates from a filesystem watcher that refreshes status when files change on disk

Stack

Tauri 2 shell, Svelte 5 frontend (runes, Tailwind CSS 4), Rust backend. All Git operations run through the git2 crate (libgit2 bindings) rather than shelling out.

Develop

just          # list every recipe
just dev      # run Vite + Tauri in watch mode
just build    # production build
just check    # fmt, biome, svelte-check, clippy, cargo test, vitest

Run just check before you commit.
