Gitzy is a serious Git client built for developers. It brings full version control to iPhone and iPad with a focus on reliability, safety, and transparency. Whether you clone a repo, inspect history, or sync with a remote, Gitzy is designed to match the expectations of developers who rely on Git every day. Repository management sits at the core. Open an existing repository, initialize a new one, or clone over HTTPS. Authentication uses tokens stored securely in the system Keychain. You stay in control of your credentials and your data. The visual commit graph gives you a clear view of branch structure, merges, and history. Navigate by time, search by message or author, and drill into any commit. A dedicated diff viewer shows exactly what changed, with support for staging at file, hunk, or line level. Branch management covers checkout, create, delete, rebase onto another branch, and upstream setup. Power tools are built in. Rebase and revert keep history predictable. Reset supports soft, mixed, and hard modes. Clean and discard handle untracked and modified files with explicit confirmation. Every destructive action is gated so you know what will happen before you confirm. Sync is safe and transparent. Push, pull, and fetch integrate with your remotes. When something goes wrong, Gitzy maps low-level errors to human-readable messages and suggests recovery steps. Pre-push checks warn about non-fast-forward and other risky states so you can decide how to proceed. AI assistance is optional and entirely under your control. Use it for commit message suggestions or repository insights if you enable it. Local and cloud-backed options are available; no data is sent unless you trigger an AI feature and have configured a provider. Gitzy is built to be robust and developer-first. It prioritizes correctness over shortcuts and clarity over jargon. Your repository data stays on your device. Credentials stay in the Keychain. The app does not track you, does not show ads, and does not depend on third-party analytics. If you need a Git client that respects your workflow and your privacy, Gitzy is built for you.
