"Non-engineers should use Git" — that's the philosophy behind this application. It wraps Git commands in a GUI and translates Git terminology as much as possible.

Git itself is an excellent system, but it can be a bit intimidating. I thought it would be better to make it something anyone can use.

The system reads a folder and automatically performs git init, allowing you to easily save (commit) or switch to different routes (branches) with buttons, and compare differences between files at past points in time and the current state. All basic Git operations are executable via buttons.

For gitignore, you can switch between the traditional blacklist method and a whitelist method where you first ignore everything * and then select only exceptions !. Since JSON is placed in between, switching is seamless. Also, physical file deletion is not performed; instead, rm works behind the scenes so that files and folders written in gitignore are completely ignored. (It also supports GitGraph.)

Installer files for macOS, Linux, and Windows are available in the Release section of the GitHub page, so please download the installer that matches your environment. GitHub integration is also possible via GitHub CLI.

== For Those Unfamiliar with Git ==
To put it roughly, Git is a system that keeps a history with timestamps — it's like a time machine. You can rewind, or while keeping the original flow intact, branch off history to edit files and then merge back into the main flow. Traditionally, this was managed by typing commands into a black screen (terminal), but this app simplifies the process to a single button click.

For example, you can keep a history without using complicated naming like "Manual2026XXXXv2CompleteFinal_Draft.txt."

PDFs and images cannot have differences extracted due to their nature (though saving itself is possible), but MD files, TXT files, and other files with plain text content can easily show differences. This is an app I'd like non-engineers and those who find file and folder management difficult to use.
