# Gitember v 3
---
A free, open-source Git GUI client for Linux, Windows, and macOS. Fast, lightweight, and packed with features that make everyday Git work a pleasure.
> **What's new in v3:** The GUI has been completely rewritten, replacing the heavy JavaFX runtime.
> The result is a significantly smaller download, faster startup, and lower memory
> usage — while adding first-class integrations with **GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Gitea**.
> JavaFX version still available in the branch or by tag
## Why Gitember?
* **No command-line memorisation** — commit, branch, merge, stash, rebase through a clean visual interface
* **Powerful diff viewer** — unified, context, and side-by-side modes with syntax highlighting for 40+ languages
* **Folder comparison tool** — compare entire directory trees and spot added / removed / changed files at a glance
* **Arbitrary file comparison tool**
* **Pull Request review** — browse and review PRs from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and self-hosted Gitea without leaving the app
* **Advanced full-text search** — search commits, file contents, Office documents, PDFs, images, and CAD files across the entire history
* **Repository statistics** — commit frequency, lines changed per author, branch activity
* **Git LFS support** — manage large binary assets with built-in LFS tooling
* **Truly free** — open source, no account required, works offline

## Background
Started in December 2016 as a weekend experiment to see if JavaFX was suitable for desktop GUI programming. It turned into a full-featured Git client. Version 3 marks the move to Swing for a lighter, faster experience.
