GitButler in the Terminal GitButler introduces a terminal-based interface that eliminates the need to switch between the editor and its desktop app for managing virtual branches, commits, and AI-generated messages, streamlining the Git workflow for developers. It’s 11 PM on a Friday night, you open the terminal, type mkdir , git init , and dive into the code. Two hours later, the editor is full of tabs, you have half a dozen modified files, and that voice in your head says: “this deserves some organized commits.” If you use GitButler, this whole process involves multiple Cmd+Tab switches to GitButler Desktop. Create a virtual branch. Go back to the editor. Write more code. Cmd+Tab back. Move files between branches. Commit. Generate an AI message. Cmd+Tab to the editor. And again. And again.
