feat: the everyday git work, without the ceremony

Each card is a diff. Red is the way it is usually done; green is what Gitxen does instead.

Through the GitHub CLI you already use. Each repository acts as the account that can see it.

merge: your terminal, inside the app

The bottom pane runs your real shell in the repository's folder, drawn the way Windows Terminal draws it. Your prompt, your font, your colours.

~/gitxen main ❯

A real terminal. PowerShell, cmd, Git Bash or WSL on a pseudoconsole, so prompts such as Oh My Posh, colours and full-screen programs all work.
Looks like Windows Terminal. Font, size, cursor and colour scheme are read from your Windows Terminal settings. One click opens the folder there instead.
gx on the command line. Repository stats, search across repositories, new repositories from a template, and a GitHub account per repository for push and pull.
Watch what Gitxen runs. Press F12 for every git command, its output and how long it took.

docs: how it behaves

The promises, written the way git stores settings.

gitxen.git=yoursRuns the git.exe you installed, as a separate program. Nothing is re-implemented, so the result is what git says.

gitxen.telemetry=noneNo usage data, no analytics, no account of its own.

gitxen.tokens=held-by-ghGitHub sign-in stays in the GitHub CLI. Gitxen asks it for a token per command and never stores one.

gitxen.ai=opt-inAI-written commit messages only if you add your own Anthropic key; it is kept in Windows Credential Manager.

gitxen.license=GPL-3.0-or-laterFree to use, study, change and share. A copy you distribute stays open too.

chore: built in the open

The code, the issues and the releases are all on GitHub. Small fixes and good first issues are the easiest way in; contributors sign a short CLA once.
