Xit

Xit provides a graphical interface for interacting with Git repositories on macOS. It presents a sidebar that lists branches, remotes, tags, submodules, and stashes, and a history view that displays a commit graph with searchable entries by author, message, or hash. Users can navigate forward and backward through selected commits and view file listings for both the current workspace and previous snapshots.

The application shows changed files or a full hierarchy at any commit, offering previews as diffs, blame annotations, plain text, or QuickLook. The blame view uses color coding to group lines changed together and links each line back to its originating commit. These features aim to make repository inspection and management more visual and intuitive.

Xit is positioned for developers who need a stable, scalable GUI for large repositories, handling many commits and files. It is a rewrite of GitX with a focus on a well‑organized, unit‑tested codebase, and plans to extend support for services such as GitHub and additional Git workflows in future releases.
