How to Use

To use this tool, you need to install Git(>=2.23.0) first.

You can download the latest stable from Releases or download workflow artifacts from Github Actions to try this app based on latest commits.

This software creates a folder $"{System.Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData}/SourceGit", which is platform-dependent, to store user settings, downloaded avatars and crash logs.

OS	PATH
Windows	C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\SourceGit
Linux	${HOME}/.config/SourceGit or ${HOME}/.sourcegit
macOS	${HOME}/Library/Application Support/SourceGit

Tip

You can open the app data dir from the main menu.

For Windows users:

• MSYS Git is NOT supported. Please use official Git for Windows instead.
• You can install the latest stable from winget with follow commands:

  winget install SourceGit

Note

winget will install this software as a commandline tool. You need run SourceGit from console or Win+R at the first time. Then you can add it to the taskbar.

• You can install the latest stable by scoope with follow commands:

  scoop bucket add extras
  scoop install sourcegit

• Portable versions can be found in Releases

For macOS users:

• Thanks @ybeapps for making SourceGit available on Homebrew. You can simply install it with following command:

  brew tap ybeapps/homebrew-sourcegit
  brew install --cask --no-quarantine sourcegit

• If you want to install SourceGit.app from Github Release manually, you need run following command to make sure it works:

  sudo xattr -cr /Applications/SourceGit.app

• Make sure git-credential-manager is installed on your mac.
• You can run echo $PATH > ~/Library/Application\ Support/SourceGit/PATH to generate a custom PATH env file to introduce PATH env to SourceGit.

For Linux users:

• For Debian/Ubuntu based distributions, you can add the sourcegit repository by following: You may need to install curl and/or gpg first, if you're on a very minimal host:

  apt update && apt install curl gpg -y

  Install the registry signing key:

  curl -fsSL "https://packages.buildkite.com/sourcegit/sourcegit-deb/gpgkey" | gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/sourcegit_sourcegit-deb-archive-keyring.gpg

  Configure the source:

  echo -e "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/sourcegit_sourcegit-deb-archive-keyring.gpg] https://packages.buildkite.com/sourcegit/sourcegit-deb/any/ any main\ndeb-src [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/sourcegit_sourcegit-deb-archive-keyring.gpg] https://packages.buildkite.com/sourcegit/sourcegit-deb/any/ any main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/buildkite-sourcegit-sourcegit-deb.list

  Update your local repository and install the package:

  apt update && apt install sourcegit

• For RHEL/Fedora based distributions, you can add the sourcegit repository by following: Configure the source:

  sudo sh -c 'echo -e "[sourcegit-rpm]\nname=sourcegit-rpm\nbaseurl=https://packages.buildkite.com/sourcegit/sourcegit-rpm/rpm_any/rpm_any/\$basearch\nenabled=1\nrepo_gpgcheck=1\ngpgcheck=0\ngpgkey=https://packages.buildkite.com/sourcegit/sourcegit-rpm/gpgkey\npriority=1"' > /etc/yum.repos.d/sourcegit-rpm.repo

  Install the package with this command:

  sudo dnf install -y sourcegit

• Appimage files can be found on AppimageHub
• xdg-open must be installed to support open native file manager.
• Make sure git-credential-manager is installed on your linux.
• Maybe you need to set environment variable AVALONIA_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS. See https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia/wiki/Configuring-X11-per-monitor-DPI.
• If you can NOT type accented characters, such as ê, ó, try to set the environment variable AVALONIA_IM_MODULE to none.

OpenAI

This software supports using OpenAI or other AI service that has an OpenAI comaptible HTTP API to generate commit message. You need configurate the service in Preference window.

For OpenAI:

• Server must be https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions

For other AI service:

• The Server should fill in a URL equivalent to OpenAI's https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions. For example, when using Ollama, it should be http://localhost:11434/v1/chat/completions instead of http://localhost:11434/api/generate
• The API Key is optional that depends on the service

External Tools

This app supports open repository in external tools listed in the table below.

Tool	Windows	macOS	Linux
Visual Studio Code	YES	YES	YES
Visual Studio Code - Insiders	YES	YES	YES
VSCodium	YES	YES	YES
Fleet	YES	YES	YES
Sublime Text	YES	YES	YES
Zed	NO	YES	YES
Visual Studio	YES	NO	NO

Note

This app will try to find those tools based on some pre-defined or expected locations automatically. If you are using one portable version of these tools, it will not be detected by this app. To solve this problem you can add a file named external_editors.json in app data dir and provide the path directly. For example:

{
    "tools": {
        "Visual Studio Code": "D:\\VSCode\\Code.exe"
    }
}

Note

This app also supports a lot of JetBrains IDEs, installing JetBrains Toolbox will help this app to find them.
