GitButler provides a radically re-imagined interface for interacting with Git, offering both a Graphical User Interface (GUI) and a Command Line Interface (CLI). Built from the ground up using Rust and Tauri, it focuses on performance and a modern user experience tailored for AI-assisted workflows. It simplifies complex branch management and commit generation, allowing developers to manage multiple parallel streams of work more intuitively than traditional Git clients.

Software developers seeking a more intuitive and powerful way to manage complex Git workflows. It is especially beneficial for those who frequently juggle multiple tasks simultaneously.

• Virtual branches: Manage multiple concurrent feature developments without constantly switching branches.
• AI integration: Seamlessly incorporates AI tools to assist with drafting commit messages and organizing changes.
• High performance: Built with Rust and Tauri, ensuring a fast, lightweight, and responsive user experience.
• Unified interface: Offers both a comprehensive GUI and a powerful CLI to suit different developer preferences.
• Simplified workflow: Abstracts away complex Git commands to make version control more intuitive.

   ## Changes Native GitHub Stacked PR Support is available in gitbutler 🥞🎉 - GitButler now automatically uses GitHub's native stacked pull requests for enrolled repositories, falling back to description footers otherwise - You can now choose per project whether GitButler adds stack metadata to pull and merge request descriptions - Cherry-picking now creates conflicted commits when a pick conflicts instead of blocking it ## CLI Breaking changes: This release overhauls the `commit`, `amend`, `squash`, `discard` and `move`. The commands `rub`, `stage` and `unstage` have been removed. For agentic use its important to update the skill (`but skill check --update`) - The CLI no longer reads change assignments from the desktop app. All worktree changes are treated as uncommitted; `but stage`, `but unstage`, and `but commit --only` have been removed - `but commit` now takes sources positionally and uses `-b/--branch` for the target branch and `--above` or `--below` for stacking - `but squash` still takes sources positionally but now uses `-t/--target` for the target. It can squash all types of sources into commits, branches, and the uncommitted area. - `but amend` and `but u

   ## What's Changed - Fixes a 0.21.1 regression where a pull request cache left by an older version could break the workspace after upgrading - Fixes an issue where updating a branch from upstream could fail - Bitbucket: Fixes an issue where build status checks could fail to load in some cases - Fixes an issue where a "part 1 of 1 in a stack" footer could be added to pull requests that aren't part of a stack **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/gitbutlerapp/gitbutler/compare/release/0.21.1...release/0.21.2 ## Downloads Download bins from https://gitbutler.com/

3. release/0.21.1release/0.21.1Jul 21, 2026

   ## Changes - Adds Bitbucket Cloud as a first-class forge — create, update, merge, and track pull requests with CI status, right in the app - The header project selector now groups projects by recency - You can now find a pull request in the branches list by branch name or number - Commit details now show the change ID next to the commit SHA - C/C++ header files now show the correct language icon ## TUI - The details view is now actionable — mark, discard, commit, and move changes right from it, including individual hunks and committed files - You can now search within the help view - Press `y` to copy a commit's change ID - You can now manually reload from the details view - Fixes an issue where commands run from command mode did not execute in the active project's directory ## CLI - Adds Bitbucket Cloud support to `but` — create, update, and merge pull requests, plus CI check status - `but status` and mutation commands (`commit`, `reword`, and more) now identify commits by their change ID — GitButler's stable ID that survives rebases — rather than the commit SHA - `but` now auto-detects more AI coding agents (including Pi and Poolside) and tailors its outp

4. release/0.21.0release/0.21.0Jul 6, 2026

   ## Support for "push to main" / "skip the pull request" workflows You can now land a branch straight onto its target eg. `origin/main`, without ever opening a pull/merge request. In the desktop app this is enabled in the project settings (Git stuff) or during project setup. In the CLI this is done with `but land <branch>`. ## Changes - Added a feature for resolving conflicted commits with AI (right click option) if AI is enabled for the project - You can now apply to the workspace GitLab merge requests, including merge requests from forks ## Fixes - Fixes an issue where undoing a change could leave spurious uncommitted changes behind - Fixes an issue where stacking one branch onto another could fail with an "Invalid parent delimitation" - Fixes an issue where the upstream integration modal could break while branch data was being refreshed - You can now scroll the list of steps in the upstream integration modal - Fixes a GitHub-specific issue where pull requests from forks could use the wrong SSH URL - Fixes an issue where a checkout could remove a directory when a file was expected in its place ## CLI - `but land <branch>` lands an applied branch directl

5. release/0.20.4release/0.20.4Jun 26, 2026

   ## Agentic Use There is now a new command `but agent setup` which makes the overall setup easier. It is an interactive wizard for tuning version control behavior (similar to https://docs.gitbutler.com/ai-agents/tuning-agent-behavior but easier to setup). Running this is a good idea for best performance. - Multi-committing, amending and splitting of commits now complete quicker and use less tokens - Improved PR stacking workflows ## Changes - There is now a "Font size" setting for the diff views (Settings → Appearance) ## CLI - `but amend` now accepts `--changes` to amend specific changes into a commit - You can now provide a message when creating an empty commit with `but commit` - `but uncommit` now supports a diff output option to print the resulting changes - `but status` now shows stacked branches that have been merged upstream - Hunk IDs are now stable across commits and discards - `but completions` now appears in the help output, making it discoverable when you grab the `but` binary without an installer - `but` output now labels "unassigned changes" as "uncommitted" - Fixes a bug where `but apply` could report success while leaving a branch unapplie
