A local Git workbench that runs in your browser.
Gitna brings source control, visual diffs, repository history, and everyday Git operations into one focused interface. It runs on your machine, uses your installed Git, and keeps repository data local.
Install with npm:
npm install -g gitnaOpen any Git repository:
cd your-repository
gitnaGitna starts a local server and opens an authenticated session in your default browser. You can also pass a repository or subdirectory explicitly:
gitna /path/to/repository- Review staged and unstaged changes with Pierre-powered split or unified diffs
- Stage and unstage files, folders, or individual hunks
- Commit and amend while preserving normal Git hook behavior
- Browse repository files, branches, tags, stashes, and commit history
- Fetch, pull, push, compare, merge, rebase, cherry-pick, and revert
- Resolve conflicts with explicit ours, theirs, or combined content
- Switch between local repositories without restarting Gitna
npm install -g gitnaThe single npm package downloads the matching native binary from GitHub Releases, verifies its SHA-256 checksum, and caches it locally. Node.js is required only for npm installations.
mise use -g github:roie/gitnaMise installs the native GitHub Release asset directly; Node.js is not required at runtime.
Download the archive for your platform from GitHub Releases, extract it, and place gitna (gitna.exe on Windows) on your PATH.
Supported release targets:
- Linux x64
- Linux arm64
- Windows x64
- WSL using the Linux binary and your normal Windows browser
Gitna requires an installed git executable and a modern browser.
Gitna binds only to a random loopback port. Every process creates a high-entropy capability URL, and mutating requests are protected by Host, Origin, content-type, and size checks.
Repository reads and mutations go through the system Git executable. Gitna does not upload repository data or replace Git's storage, configuration, credentials, or hooks.
See SECURITY.md for the complete security model and vulnerability reporting instructions.
Development setup, validation commands, packaging, and release instructions are documented in CONTRIBUTING.md.
