Describe what you need

Git is powerful but the command line isn't for everyone. Build a visual interface that shows exactly what's happening in your repository.

Create a Git GUI app that:
- Shows changed files in the working directory
- Lets me stage/unstage files with checkboxes
- Shows diffs with syntax highlighting for additions and deletions
- Lets me write commit messages and commit selected files
- Shows commit history with the ability to undo the last commit
- Supports push to remote
- Lets me switch between repositories

Tips for best results

Review diffs before committing

Always check the diff to make sure you're committing what you intend to commit.

Write meaningful commit messages

The summary should describe what changed. Use the description for context about why.

Commit often

Small, focused commits are easier to understand and revert if needed.
