Git Switch is a desktop Git client written in Rust and React using the Tauri framework. The main idea is that it combines a multi-repo Git GUI with a built-in launcher for dev servers, so you can manage commits, branches, and the actual yarn dev or cargo run processes from one window. It targets macOS, Linux, and Windows. The interface centers on a sidebar that lists all your repos with live colored status indicators backed by a filesystem watcher. The main sync button adapts to the branch state and toggles between Pull, Push, Publish, and Fetch as appropriate. There is an inline diff viewer, a popup for commit history, and an Undo button that wraps a soft reset for the most recent local commit, so it never touches anything you have already pushed. A menu-bar tray shows the active repo's branch and how many commits you are ahead or behind, and the app can pop desktop notifications when teammates push new commits to the same branch you are on. For dev work, the app holds run targets like yarn dev or cargo run. Each one gets its own xterm-style terminal tab and the app manages ports for you. Repos can be grouped, so you can start the whole group's servers in parallel with one action. There is also an AI commit-message feature powered by Google's Gemini API, with an automatic fallback when a model is rate-limited. Six accent themes plus light and dark mode are included. Installation is a one-line curl or PowerShell script for the prebuilt release, and re-running it updates the app. Building from source needs Git, Node 20 or newer, and stable Rust, plus a handful of GTK packages on Debian or Ubuntu. The first launch compiles around 400 Rust crates and can take a few minutes. The author calls out what is deliberately not supported: force push, rebase, hard reset, discard, stash, and merge-conflict resolution. Authentication reuses your existing Git setup (SSH keys, Keychain, gh, credential helpers), and the optional Gemini API key is stored only in localStorage and sent only to Google when you click Generate.
