GitBrain | AI-powered Git Client for Mac

GitBrain is an AI-powered Git client for macOS that aims to simplify Git workflow with intelligent automation. It provides AI-generated commit messages, code-splitting suggestions, interactive commit editing, auto-detection of projects from common IDEs, keyboard-friendly shortcuts, and a native Mac experience with optimized performance and dark/light themes. The tool is designed to help developers increase productivity by making commits clearer, more manageable, and easier to review.

2. Review AI-generated commits. The app splits code changes into multiple AI-generated commits and presents an editable plan.
3. Interactively edit commits. Select, reorder, or merge multiple commits as needed using AI-assisted suggestions.
4. Review auto-generated summaries. Read the self code review summary to understand what changes were made before committing.
5. Commit with confidence. Execute commits straight from the GitBrain panel, using keyboard shortcuts for speed.
