# Git Light

> Git Light is a free, MIT-licensed desktop Git client for macOS, Windows, and Linux with a graph-first interface — commit graph, branch sidebar, working tree, multi-repo tabs, and real local Git operations via the native Git CLI. No account or subscription required.

Git Light is an Electron desktop application built with Vue 3 and TypeScript. It runs `git` in the Electron main process and exposes typed IPC to the renderer. Current version: 0.1.7.
