On Debian/Ubuntu:\n\n```sh\nsudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev libxdo-dev libayatana-appindicator3-dev\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n### CLI\n\n```sh\n# Clone a repo as a bare repo with partial clone\ngitgobig-cli clone https://github.com/mwallner/repo.git ./repo.git\n\n# Fetch all remotes\ngitgobig-cli sync repo\n\n# Create a worktree for a branch\ngitgobig-cli worktree add repo ./worktrees/feature-x feature-x\n\n# Create a worktree on a new branch\ngitgobig-cli worktree add repo ./worktrees/my-fix main -b my-fix\n\n# List worktrees\ngitgobig-cli worktree list repo\n\n# Remove a worktree\ngitgobig-cli worktree remove repo ./worktrees/feature-x\n```\n\n### GUI\n\n```sh\ngitgobig-gui\n```\n\nThe GUI provides:\n- **Setup screen** — enter a repository URL, pick a destination directory, and clone\n- **Dashboard** — view repo info, sync, open the repo folder\n- **Worktree management** — browse existing worktrees, create new ones with branch selection, remove worktrees\n\n## Project Structure\n\n```\ncrates/\n  core/     — git operations (clone, sync, worktree, branch) via std::process::Command\n  config/   — platform-aware config path resolution and JSON persistence\n  cli/      — clap-based command-line interface\n  gui/      — iced-based graphical interface with async git operations\n```\n\n## Running Tests\n\n```sh\ncargo test --workspace\n```\n\n## CI / Releases\n\nGitHub Actions runs tests on Linux, macOS, and Windows on every push and pull request to `main`. Release builds produce artifacts for all three platforms — see the [Actions tab](https://github.com/mwallner/gitgobig/actions/) for build artifacts or [Releases](https://github.com/mwallner/gitgobig/releases) for published builds.\n\n## License\n\nThis project is provided as-is.
