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.

[!TIP]

• You can open this data storage directory from the main menu Open Data Storage Directory.
• You can create a data folder next to the SourceGit executable to force this app to store data (user settings, downloaded avatars and crash logs) into it (Portable-Mode). Only works on Windows.

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 scoop with follow commands:

  scoop bucket add extras
  scoop install sourcegit
  
• Pre-built binaries 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:

• Thanks @aikawayataro for providing rpm and deb repositories, hosted on Codeberg.

  deb how to:

  curl https://codeberg.org/api/packages/yataro/debian/repository.key | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/sourcegit.asc
  echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/sourcegit.asc, arch=amd64,arm64] https://codeberg.org/api/packages/yataro/debian generic main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sourcegit.list
  sudo apt update
  sudo apt install sourcegit
  

  rpm how to:

  curl https://codeberg.org/api/packages/yataro/rpm.repo | sed -e 's/gpgcheck=1/gpgcheck=0/' > sourcegit.repo
  
  # Fedora 41 and newer
  sudo dnf config-manager addrepo --from-repofile=./sourcegit.repo
  # Fedora 40 and earlier
  sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo ./sourcegit.repo
  
  sudo dnf install sourcegit
  

  If your distribution isn't using dnf, please refer to the documentation of your distribution on how to add an rpm repository.

• AppImage files can be found on AppImage hub, xdg-open (xdg-utils) 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 compatible HTTP API to generate commit message. You need configurate the service in Preference window.

For OpenAI:

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

For other AI service:

• The Server should fill in a URL equivalent to OpenAI's https://api.openai.com/v1. For example, when using Ollama, it should be http://localhost:11434/v1 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.

[!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 storage directory 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.
