GitButler is an open source [Tauri](https://tauri.app/)-based
Git client. Its UI is written in [Svelte](https://svelte.dev/) using [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org)
and its backend is written in [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/).
## Why GitButler?
Git's user interface has hardly been touched for 15 years. While it was written
for Linux kernel devs sending patches to each other over mailing lists, most
modern developers have different workflows and needs.
GitButler aims to rethink the version control concept, while still storing data
in Git and being able to push trees to Git servers.
