Lanewise

A free, open-source desktop Git client for Windows and macOS, with a visual commit graph and AI-assisted merge conflict resolution. Its source is at adrianeyre/lanewise, under the MIT licence.

• The project website: lanewise.adrianeyre.co.uk, with the latest downloads.
• What is being built, and why: the product requirements document and the architectural decision records.
• Releases: every Release, with its notes.

What Lanewise does

• The Commit graph. The whole history in lanes, each commit drawn with its author's avatar and each stash as a dotted square, with branches and tags as Labels and open Pull Requests beside them. Right-click a commit, or any of its Labels, to merge, check out, rename or delete its branches, here, on their remote or both, and double-click a remote branch to bring your local branch to it.
• The working tree. Stage whole files or single Hunks, see each diff side by side, commit or amend, and stash.
• Branches, remotes and Hosts. Branch, merge after a preview, clone, fetch, pull and push, signing in to GitHub, GitHub Enterprise Server, GitLab.com, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps through Git Credential Manager to browse your repositories. Every branch action from a right click in the sidebar, a fetch as you switch tabs, and a base folder, such as C:\projects, that opening and cloning start in.
• Pull Requests from GitHub. Each open one by its number and title, opened in your browser with a click, and marked in the Commit graph. Every repository has Open repository, with its Host's logo, to open it on its Host, in a Tab of its own beside your repositories, or in your browser if you'd rather.
• Issues from Jira Cloud and Trello. Your open Issues beside your branches, with your own API token kept in your system's credential store, and a branch made for any of them.
• Merge conflicts, with AI Suggestions never applied for you. Base, Ours and Theirs side by side, a Resolution built one Conflict Hunk at a time, and Suggestions from your own Model Provider's API key.
• Laid out as GitKraken is, with columns you can resize, a spinner and progress bar saying what's running whenever something takes time, Light, Dark and System Themes, no telemetry, and WCAG 2.2 AA throughout.

Getting started

• Use it: download the latest Release. Installing Lanewise covers macOS, Windows, Git 2.40 or later and Git Credential Manager.

• Turn on AI: Suggestions from your own Model Provider.

• Build it from source: Setting Lanewise up locally, with common setup problems. In short, with Node 26, Rust and Tauri 2's system dependencies installed:

  corepack enable
  pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
  pnpm desktop:dev
  

• Releases, signing, updates and the website: Releases.

Contributing

Contributions are welcome. CONTRIBUTING.md says how to set up, test and lint a change, how to write its commits, the glossary Lanewise uses and how a decision is recorded. Everyone taking part follows the code of conduct. Report a security problem privately, as SECURITY.md says, never in an issue.

Open an issue to report a bug (Settings' Copy diagnostics fills its form in), ask for a feature, or tell us about an accessibility barrier.
