GitComet is a fast open source Git GUI for Linux, macOS, and Windows, with focused diff and merge tooling and familiar Git workflows.

GitComet is built for teams that want fast Git operations with local-first privacy, familiar workflows, and open source freedom. Built end-to-end in Rust for speed and efficiency using smol , gix , and gpui for blazingly fast operations. Stage by file, by hunk, or by single line , straight from the diff gutter. Commit the one idea you meant to. The merge tool resolves the unambiguous conflicts when the file opens, and leaves you the ones that need a decision. Interactive rebase, worktrees, submodules, stashes, blame, and patches — the whole surface , not just the easy parts. Your repositories stay on your machine. No account, no sync, no upload. Free for personal and commercial use, under…from gitcomet.dev

In the maker’s words, at launch

We are launching GitComet today! It’s a fast, local-first, open-source Git client for Linux, macOS, and Windows. We started building it after running into the same problem over and over: Git tools felt fine on small projects, but got painful on large repos and big diffs. Project main focus is speed: It can open…

  Gitdot – A better GitHub. Open-source, written in RustJun 2026 · gitdot.io · ▲334

  What works now: user signups, org creations, private/public repos, and importing GitHub repositories (both as read-only mirrors and full migrations). So basically, you can create, push and pull to a repo, but we don't have many features quite yet (issues, PRs, CI). What is a bit unique is: 1) we built it in Rust and 2) the website is a little odd. Its design is inspired by CLIs (e.g., fzf, broot, vim) instead of web apps, and as such, lacks some affordances that you might typically expect in favor of keyboard-driven instant navigations (we have the very ambitious goal of an FCP of…

  Talanoa▲340

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
