GitWand
A fast, native Git client that resolves trivial conflicts on its own. I mostly work on its UI/UX and AI features, and led the app’s visual revamp.

GitWand is a lightweight, native Git client built with Tauri 2 and Vue 3, created by Laurent Guitton. It covers the whole daily workflow (changes, history, branches, push/pull) and goes further: it resolves trivial merge conflicts on its own, reviews pull requests inline across GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps, and ships with a CLI, an MCP server and a VS Code extension.
My part
I’m the project’s main collaborator. Most of my work lands where people touch the app:
- UI/UX. Layout, interactions and polish all over the app: the two-row header, the full-screen settings and help pages, tooltips everywhere, the commit graph’s row highlights and light/dark tints, the terminal panel.
- The visual revamp. I led the redesign that gave GitWand its current look.
- AI features. AI-drafted commit messages, pull request descriptions and release notes, built on one shared template system with a per-repo output language; model pickers for Claude, Codex, Copilot and Antigravity.
- Plenty of features in between: pull request review threads (reply, resolve, edit, delete), an in-house Markdown renderer, force-push detection after a local rewrite, a commit identity remembered per project…
What it does
- Git Tree: the main history view, a full DAG with filters, branch and tag management straight from the graph.
- Merge preview and conflict engine: predicts a merge before you run it and resolves the trivial hunks.
- Pull requests: multi-forge, inline review, CI annotations on the diff.
- Today: a cross-repo inbox of what needs your attention.
- Worktrees and an integrated terminal with AI agent tabs.
