Requirements

GitComet requires a local Git installation of 2.53 or newer. With an older Git, GitComet shows a notice asking you to update, and features that need newer Git (such as repository maintenance) are turned off.

GitComet User Survey

We’re running this short survey to better understand how people use our Git GUI client in their daily work. Your feedback will help us improve the product and prioritize the features that matter most.

Why GitComet

GitComet started from frustration with existing tools on huge codebases like Chromium. We could not find a product that stays responsive and functional when browsing large repositories and file diffs.

Using as a Git difftool / mergetool

GitComet can be used as a standalone diff and merge tool invoked by git difftool and git mergetool. It supports both headless (algorithm-only) and GUI (interactive GPUI window) modes.

Compatibility

KDiff3 and Meld invocation forms are supported (--L1/--L2/--L3, -o/--output/--out, --base, positional arguments), so GitComet can be a drop-in replacement.
