Installation and basic setup
What is TyeGit?
TyeGit is a lighting-fast, precision Git client. It abandons bulky Electron and Chromium layers for a sleek Rust + Tauri backend.
Why TyeGit?
Unlike typical Git GUIs that abstract away the power of Git, TyeGit gives you deeper control:
- Native line-by-line hunk staging inside an embedded editor.
- Fast-forward-only safe pulls.
- Multi-remote support right from the UI.
- Visual merge state management and conflict resolution.
How to Install
Step 1: Download
Head to our Download page and select the installer for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
Step 2: Install
Run the installer. TyeGit is a portable, single-binary application on Windows, or an AppImage on Linux.
Step 3: Login to GitHub
When you first open TyeGit and attempt to Push/Pull, the app will securely use GitHub Device Flow to authenticate you. You simply enter a one-time code on your browser, and TyeGit securely stores your token locally.
