Git client · SourceGit
SourceGit
Free, MIT-licensed Git client for Windows, macOS and Linux with frequent stable releases.
In short
- The app is free and open source under the MIT licence, with no paid plan listed1.
- Its feature list names interactive rebase, Git LFS, submodules, worktrees and Git-flow1.
- Windows, macOS and Linux builds are offered; the latest stable release is 2026.21 from 21 September 20261,2.
- Six stable releases, 2026.16 to 2026.21, appeared between 27 July and 21 September 2026, 4 to 17 days apart2.
