Features

FlowForge brings together the tools you need for daily Git work in a single native application.

Core Capabilities

Gitflow Workflow

Start, finish, and manage feature, release, and hotfix branches through a guided interface. FlowForge handles the merge strategy and tag creation automatically. Ships as a toggleable built-in extension — disable it to use FlowForge as a plain Git client. Learn more →

Staging & Commits

View file diffs, stage individual files or hunks, write commit messages, and amend previous commits — all from a unified panel. Learn more →

Branch Management

Create, checkout, rename, merge, and delete branches. Pin frequently used branches and track recent activity. Learn more →

Commit Topology

Visualize your repository's commit graph in an interactive node-based view. Select commits to inspect details, navigate history, and understand branch relationships at a glance.

Push, Pull & Fetch

Sync with remotes using dedicated toolbar actions or keyboard shortcuts. Progress indicators keep you informed during network operations.

Stash Support

Save and restore work-in-progress changes with Git stash. Name your stashes for easy identification and apply or drop them as needed.

Repository Initialization

Create new Git repositories from any folder with guided .gitignore template selection, project type auto-detection, and optional initial commit generation. Learn more →

Conventional Commits

Write structured commit messages with a dedicated editor that breaks messages into type, scope, description, and body fields. Live preview ensures correct formatting before you commit. Ships as a toggleable built-in extension — disable it for a plain text commit form. Learn more →

Review Checklist

Before finishing a Gitflow branch, an advisory checklist reminds you of common pre-merge steps. Items are customizable per flow type in Settings.

GitHub Integration

Connect your local repository to GitHub without leaving FlowForge. Browse and create pull requests, view issues, and manage your GitHub account — all from dedicated blades. Sign in securely via GitHub's Device Flow. Learn more →

Content Viewers

Preview Markdown files, source code (via Monaco editor), and 3D models (.gltf/.glb) directly in FlowForge. Ships as a toggleable built-in extension — when disabled, file previews fall back to plain text display.

Extension Platform

FlowForge v1.6.0 features a fully extensible platform with four independently toggleable built-in extensions: GitHub, Gitflow, Conventional Commits, and Content Viewers. Extensions can contribute context menus, sidebar panels, status bar widgets, toolbar actions, and git operation hooks. Sandbox infrastructure (trust levels, Worker prototype) prepares for future third-party extension safety. Learn about the API →
