My side project: a 14 MB Git client that opens in under 5 seconds and never asks you to log in

I've been building this for a while and v0.9.0 just shipped, so it feels like time to show it. The itch: my Git client was about a gigabyte on disk and took almost 40 seconds to open. Every time I wanted to fix a typo there was a loading screen and sometimes a login. It drove me a bit mad. What I made: gitmoire, a native desktop Git client for macOS, Windows and Linux. It started as a hard fork of an MIT project (angkorGit), with Git running on Rust and libgit2. 14 M

AI 分析

痛点:主流 Git 客户端体积臃肿(约 1GB)、启动慢(近 40 秒)、还强制登录账号,开发者只想改个错字却要等加载和登录。

目标用户:每天高频使用 Git 的中小型开发团队工程师、独立开发者,尤其是反感 Electron 重量级客户端和账号绑定的人。

证据:The itch: my Git client was about a gigabyte on disk and took almost 40 seconds to open. Every time I wanted to fix a typo there was a loading screen and sometimes a login. It drove me a bit mad. / Business side: it's free. No paid tier right now.

变现:免费基础版 + 一次性买断 Pro(约 $29–49,解锁 worktree/PR/多仓库/团队协作等),或按年订阅 $2–4/月;避免强制登录以保持卖点。

MVP:用 Rust + libgit2(或 Tauri/egui)做一个 2 周可交付的最小版:极快冷启动的提交图浏览 + 行级暂存 + 提交/推送(Token 本地保存,无账号体系),打包体积控制在 30MB 内,先只支持 macOS 或 Linux 单一平台验证。

竞品:GitKraken、Fork、Tower、GitHub Desktop、Sourcetree、Sublime Merge、GitButler、Gitmoire(本贴项目)

摘要:作者在 r/SideProject 发布 gitmoire:一个 14MB、5 秒内启动、无需登录、无遥测的原生跨平台 Git 客户端,基于 Rust + libgit2,是 MIT 项目 angkorGit 的硬分叉,带提交图、冲突解决、worktree、行级暂存、PR 与可选本地 AI。痛点明确(旧客户端约 1GB、启动近 40 秒、常要登录),但作者明确表示完全免费、暂无付费层,帖内没有任何付费意愿或收入数据。
