Browse like GitHub
A lazy-loading, keyboard-navigable file tree for regular folders and git repositories, right on your machine.
GITLOCAL
Designed for builders.
Not just developers.
A local, GitHub-style viewer for the code your AI agent wrote. Browse the repo, read Markdown clearly, review what changed, and hand off to a terminal — without opening a full IDE.
npx gitlocal
See it in action
What GitLocal helps with
Read Markdown clearly
GitHub-like rendering with relative links, heading anchors, find highlights, and share/copy actions. No IDE required.
Review what changed
A changed-files panel for modified, deleted, untracked, generated, and local-only paths, plus active-file refresh notices.
Search intentionally
Repository-wide search with current-folder and Markdown-focused scopes, plus file-level find inside the current file.
Understand git state
A plain-language repository summary — branch, remote, sync, and local changes — backed by technical detail when you need it.
Hand off to your agent
A built-in terminal docked at the bottom of the window, wired for Claude, Codex, or a plain shell, with cross-page session persistence.
Get started now. It is free.
Choose the npm package for any OS, or the native macOS app if you'd rather skip the terminal.
npm package
npm install -g gitlocal
gitlocal .
Opens in your default browser. Keep the terminal window open while you use it.
macOS app beta
brew tap ehud-am/gitlocal
brew install --cask gitlocal
No terminal needed after install. Currently unsigned, so macOS shows a security warning on first launch.
Full setup and troubleshooting notes are in the README.
