Surgical Precision
Stage line-by-line or by hunk. Open the index and edit code directly before committing. Total control over your history.
Built-in Guardrails
We enforce fast-forward pulls by default and prevent accidental merges into protected branches. Avoid Git disasters before they happen.

Multi-Remote Mastery
Manage upstream and origin effortlessly. Sync forks, push to multiple remotes, and track upstream branches with a single click.
Commit only what matters.
Stop committing `console.log`s. TyeGit gives you an embedded God-Mode editor. Open the diff, click the arrows to selectively stage specific hunks, and build perfectly clean commits.
Keep experiments separate.
Branching shouldn't be scary. Create branches instantly, work in isolation, and when you are ready, use our robust 3-way merge engine to combine work safely.
Save work without committing.
Need to pivot tasks suddenly? Don't make a messy "WIP" commit. Stash your changes instantly, switch branches, and pop your stash back out when you return.
How we compare
TyeGit is built for speed and precision. While established clients offer complex historical graph visualizers, our v2.0 release focuses heavily on perfecting the daily staging, committing, and remote syncing workflows. Future updates will bring interactive rebasing and deep graph analysis to rival the enterprise players.
