Separate Git facts
Working tree, upstream, and project reference appear as distinct signals — without conflating local context and remote state.
Git Sentinel · v0.1.0
Git Sentinel
A local-first desktop command center for the Git repositories already on your machine.
See the current branch, local work, upstream, and project reference without giving up control of your repositories.
Linux-first · AppImage and .deb · MIT License
Built for local work
Know what is happening before you touch any repository.
Observes, never takes over
It does not install hooks or run pull, push, commit, checkout, merge, or rebase on its own.
Responsive through network work
Single-repository and fleet fetches run away from the graphical interface, keeping the window usable while the network responds.
Deliberate operation
An observer for repositories that already belong to you.
- Add a local Git folderSentinel stores its path and inspects the available facts. Removing it from Sentinel never removes files or Git history.
- Follow local changesA Git metadata change schedules a new inspection for that repository only, with debounce and no automatic fetch.
- Refresh remotes when you chooseFetch updates tracking refs. The activity strip aggregates progress and failures without stopping navigation or scrolling.
