BranchPilot is a git client for the Linux desktop: a visual commit graph, hunk-level staging, full branch, stash and remote operations, and a drag-and-drop editor for interactive rebase.
It wraps the git command-line tool directly — there is no libgit2 and the application never handles or stores credentials.
Features include a commit graph with persistent lane assignment and colour-coded refs, syntax-highlighted diffs with per-hunk staging, branch and stash management, fetch, pull and push with live progress, interactive rebase with conflict resume, and power operations such as tags, cherry-pick, revert, reset, worktrees and per-file history.
Note on confinement: as a strictly confined snap this build reads your SSH keys through the ssh-keys interface, which must be connected once after install:
sudo snap connect branchpilot:ssh-keys
Your top-level ~/.gitconfig is not visible to a confined snap, so set your identity per repository (git config user.name / user.email) or use the commit box, which writes repository-local configuration.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap is available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8 and RHEL 7, from the 7.6 release onward.
The packages for RHEL 7, RHEL 8, and RHEL 9 are in each distribution’s respective Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository. The instructions for adding this repository diverge slightly between RHEL 7, RHEL 8 and RHEL 9, which is why they’re listed separately below.
The EPEL repository can be added to RHEL 9 with the following command:
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-9.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf upgrade
The EPEL repository can be added to RHEL 8 with the following command:
sudo dnf install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf upgrade
The EPEL repository can be added to RHEL 7 with the following command:
sudo rpm -ivh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
Adding the optional and extras repositories is also recommended:
sudo subscription-manager repos --enable "rhel-*-optional-rpms" --enable "rhel-*-extras-rpms"
sudo yum update
Snap can now be installed as follows:
sudo yum install snapd
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again or restart your system to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install BranchPilot, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install branchpilot
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
