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:

• Download sourcegit_x.y.osx-x64.zip or sourcegit_x.y.osx-arm64.zip from Releases. x64 for Intel and arm64 for Apple Silicon.
• Move SourceGit.app to Applications folder.
• Make sure your mac trusts all software from anywhere. For more information, search spctl --master-disable.
• Make sure git-credential-manager is installed on your mac.
• You may need to run sudo xattr -cr /Applications/SourceGit.app to make sure the software works.
• You may need to start this app from commandline by using open -a SourceGit to introduce the PATH environment variable from your shell.

For Linux users:

• 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.

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	KEY IN external_editors.json
Visual Studio Code	YES	YES	YES	VSCODE
Visual Studio Code - Insiders	YES	YES	YES	VSCODE_INSIDERS
VSCodium	YES	YES	YES	VSCODIUM
JetBrains Fleet	YES	YES	YES	FLEET
Sublime Text	YES	YES	YES	SUBLIME_TEXT
Zed	NO	YES	YES	ZED

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": {
        "VSCODE": "D:\\VSCode\\Code.exe"
    }
}

Note

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