Group every repository into collapsible folders in the sidebar and jump between them instantly. Your whole workspace in one window.
Free · open source · Windows, macOS & Linux
All your repositories,
organized and a click away.
GitBench keeps every repo you work in grouped in one sidebar, so you can switch between them instantly, with no reopening windows or re-adding folders. It's a native, GPU-accelerated client with a visual commit graph, inline diffs, and one-click auto-updates.

Frequently asked questions
Is GitBench free?
Yes. GitBench is completely free and open source. There are no paid tiers, accounts, or license keys — every feature is available to everyone.
Which operating systems does GitBench support?
GitBench runs natively on Windows (x64), macOS (both Apple Silicon and Intel), and Linux (x64, as an AppImage).
Do I need Git installed to use GitBench?
Yes. GitBench drives your existing Git command-line installation, so you need Git installed and available on your system PATH. You can get it from git-scm.com.
How is GitBench different from GitKraken, Sourcetree, or Fork?
GitBench is built around working in many repositories at once: every repo stays grouped in one sidebar so you can switch instantly without reopening windows. It is a native, GPU-accelerated app that is free and open source, with a visual commit graph, inline diffs, and one-click auto-updates.
Does GitBench update automatically?
Yes. GitBench checks for new releases on launch and applies them with a single click, so you stay current without manually downloading and reinstalling.
Is GitBench safe to use, and where is the source code?
GitBench is open source — all of the code and every release build are published on GitHub, so you can review exactly what it does or build it yourself.
