What is it?

1git is a native Git workspace for macOS. It lets you review changed files with text and image diffs, select individual files or lines, and write commits from a single view. History tools cover commits, branches, tags, stashes, and the commit graph.

The app organizes work with tabs, spaces, and worktrees. Repositories can be opened locally or over SSH on remote macOS and Linux machines. GitHub and GitLab accounts can be connected to work with pull or merge requests.

Commit messages can be generated with AI using OpenCode, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, or any API you configure. Only the selected changes are sent to the provider you choose. The app requires macOS 13 or later on Apple Silicon and Git installed.
