**MADE FOR PEOPLE LEARNING GIT**

* Every action explained in plain English before it runs
* A "What should I do?" panel suggests the next sensible step
* One-click Undo for commits, merges and rebases
* Activity (reflog) view to jump back to any earlier state

**SEE WHAT HAPPENED**

* Interactive commit graph you can zoom and pan
* Click any commit to peek at its changes without checking it out
* Clear, colour-coded diffs

**EVERYDAY WORK**

* Review your changes, write a message and commit
* Fetch, pull, push, switch branches and clone, each with a plain-language confirmation
* Resolve merge conflicts on a side-by-side screen: keep mine, keep theirs, or edit
* Ctrl+K command palette for quick actions

**PRIVATE BY DESIGN**

* Works offline with your local repositories
* Nothing leaves your computer unless you push to a remote you choose
* No account, no ads, no tracking, no subscription

Optional: connect your own local AI server (for example Ollama) to suggest commit messages. Off by default.
