About GitDesktop
GitDesktop provides a local-first desktop client for managing repositories hosted on GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket. Developers can stage changes granularly by file, hunk, or line, as well as create and merge local pull requests entirely on their machine. It incorporates a forge abstraction layer to standardize pull request and continuous integration workflows, includes built-in Jira Cloud integration, and functions as an MCP server. Users can bring their preferred AI models or delegate development tasks to AI agents running inside isolated worktrees.
