CommitDesk

A desktop git client in the style of GitHub Desktop that works with GitLab™ (self-hosted servers and gitlab.com), GitHub, and any other git server, built with .NET MAUI.

CommitDesk was called GitLab Desktop up to version 0.6. Installing or updating to CommitDesk replaces it and keeps your settings.

• Commit exactly what you mean: tick whole files, or click the gutter to commit single lines.
• See image changes: before and after side by side, instead of Binary file changed.
• Branches made easy: switch, create, merge, squash, rebase, stash, and leave changes on the branch they belong to.
• Merge requests and pull requests: create them in the app, and see the open request and its CI status in the toolbar.
• Any server: GitLab (any instance, recognised automatically), GitHub, or a plain git server over HTTPS or SSH.
• History: browse commits and amend, revert, reset, cherry-pick or tag them.
• Updates itself on Windows, from this project's releases.
