GitExplorer

DEVELOPER TOOLS

Your repositories. In one view.

A Git repository explorer built on git_dart. Browse files at any revision, review changes, edit your working tree, and stage and commit from a Flutter interface that runs on desktop and in the browser.

INSIDE GITEXPLORER

What you can do.

A workspace you choose

Add repositories from anywhere on disk to one persistent list. Expand each repository into folders and files without reorganising your filesystem.

Browse any revision

View the working tree, HEAD, a branch, or a specific commit. Inspect file history and diffs, with status shown for the working tree.

Edit with safeguards

Edit working-tree files in place and save with Ctrl+S. Unsaved drafts survive navigation, and a save is refused if another program has changed the file.

Make room for new work

Create files and nested folders from the tree. Select a folder without a repository and GitExplorer offers to initialise one using your Git branch-name preference.

See the staging area

Review separate Staged and Not staged lists. Stage or unstage a file or a whole directory, including the deletion of a missing path.

Commit what you reviewed

Write a message and commit the index. Missing identity, unresolved conflicts, an empty message, or nothing staged are reported before committing.

THE FOUNDATION

Git, reimplemented in Dart.

GitExplorer is built on git_dart, a pure-Dart reimplementation of Git. The library reads and writes real Git repositories directly: objects, commits, branches, the staging index, and the storage formats beneath them. Its Git engine needs no separate git executable, FFI bridge, or libgit2.

GitExplorer gives that engine a visual workspace. Opening a file at a revision, reviewing a diff, or making a commit exercises the library against the same repositories you use every day. The library’s interoperability tests check its results against Git itself, including whether Git can read back what it writes.

Both the library and the explorer grow from explicit specifications. A shared Dart foundation also makes a browser version possible, with browser-backed storage in place of the desktop filesystem.

ALSO IN YOUR BROWSER

Try it with a real repository.

Open the demo and explore GitExplorer’s own source code. Browse files, follow commits, and try making changes—there’s nothing to install.

Your workspace is saved in this browser. Experiment freely, download your copy, or use Reset the demo to start again. The first visit downloads the app and its repository.

GETTING STARTED

A few steps to get going.

Add a local repository to your workspace.
Choose the working tree or a revision, then open a file to inspect it.
Edit and save, review the diff, stage your changes, and write a commit message.

Desktop builds use local repositories. Browser builds keep a separate workspace in browser storage; connecting to remote repositories depends on the server allowing browser requests. Features vary with the build date shown below.
