System Architecture

TyeGit is built using the Tauri framework, which allows us to write a blazing fast frontend in React and securely connect it to a high-performance Rust backend.

The IPC Bridge

The animation above illustrates how our frontend and backend communicate. Instead of shipping a massive Chromium and Node.js instance (like Electron does), we use the OS's native WebView for the UI and Rust for everything else.

1. The Frontend (React)

The frontend is strictly responsible for rendering the UI and handling user interactions. It has no direct access to the filesystem or Git binaries.

2. The Bridge (Tauri IPC)

When you click "Stage Hunk", the frontend sends an Inter-Process Communication (IPC) message to the backend. Because Tauri is so deeply integrated, this transmission takes fractions of a millisecond.

3. The Backend (Rust)

The Rust backend receives the command, executes the highly-optimized Git operation natively against the .git directory, and streams the new repository state back to the frontend to render.
