Download Multi-Git
Multi-Git is a desktop application for managing Git repositories across Windows, macOS and Linux without sending repository data to a remote service. It keeps separate SSH keys and commit identities for different projects, supports several repositories in one workspace, and allows branches to be checked out simultaneously through worktrees. The application presents staging, diff review, rebasing, conflict resolution, stashing, patches, bisect, submodules, Git LFS and remote management as visual tools while showing the exact Git commands it runs.
A recovery system records the position of movable refs before operations such as reset, rebase, branch deletion and stash drop, writing that information inside the repository's own Git directory so it survives a restart. Discarded file contents are snapshotted to a temporary location for a limited time. The application also exposes an operations log with arguments, working directory, exit code and duration for every command, and can open a terminal in the repository with the correct SSH identity.
Multi-Git requires no account and holds no GitHub token, relying on the GitHub CLI when pull requests or remote repository creation are requested. The project is distributed under the MIT license in installer, portable, Debian, RPM and AppImage formats. Configuration, SSH profiles and repository groups are stored in files in the user's home directory, while key files remain at the paths chosen by the user, and the local API binds to the loopback interface only.
