SEE WHAT CHANGED

Understand git state in plain language

You should not need to remember what a detached HEAD is to know whether your work is safe. GitLocal explains where things stand in plain words, with the technical detail one click away.

What you get

• A plain-language summary. Your branch, its remote, whether you are in sync, and what has changed locally.
• Technical badges when you want them. The same information as compact git status badges.
• Switch branches safely. If you have uncommitted work, GitLocal asks whether to commit or discard it first, instead of surprising you.
• Local git identity. Save a repo-local user.name, user.email, and an optional SSH key setting.
• You stay in control of git. Clone, fetch, pull, and push go through your installed git, and only when you choose to run them.
