grut

Reactive terminal file explorer with full Git, GitHub, and AI chat integration

Desktopfree

grut is a free, open-source terminal file explorer where the file tree, Git panels, GitHub panels, and preview all stay in sync with each other — selecting a branch, commit, or pull request reconfigures the other panels automatically. It covers full Git workflows (staging, branches, worktrees, merge, rebase, blame) and GitHub workflows (issues, PRs, Actions, releases) in one TUI, with built-in AI chat for commit messages and code review. It's for developers who want to stop switching between a file browser, a Git client, and a browser tab for GitHub, and do it all from one reactive terminal tool.
