SmartGit is a Git client for macOS. It is free for non-commercial use, provides a graphical access to Git repositories and can access Subversion repositories. For trivial Pull, Commit and Push you will find simpler alternatives than SmartGit. Purchase your license once and use it on as many machines and operating systems you like. No need to install and configure additional tools. Smart Git comes with special integrations for GitHub, BitBucket and Atlassian Stash to create and resolve Pull Requests and Review Comments. Of course, you can use SmartGit for Mac with your own repositories or other hosting providers (e.g. GitLab).

Features and Highlights
  • Virtually all local working tree operations
  • Status, diff, log
  • Push, pull, fetch (for all protocols)
  • Tag and branch management
  • Merge, cherry-pick, rebase, revert, rebase
  • Stash management
  • Remotes management
  • Submodule support
  • Advanced SVN support (use SmartGit as SVN client)
