Git comes with built-in GUI tools for committing (git-gui) and browsing (gitk), but there are several third-party tools for users looking for platform-specific experience.
- Download the free Git client for Windows, Mac & Linux! GitKraken Git GUI is free for use with public repositories. Join leading companies like Google, Microsoft & more!
- After you have successfully installed Git on Mac, you’ll need to provide secure communication with your Git repositories by creating and installing SSH keys. Creating SSH keys on Mac To communicate with the remote Git repository in your Beanstalk account from your Mac, you will need to generate an SSH key pair for that computer.
- Download for macOS. There are several options for installing Git on macOS. Note that any non-source distributions are provided by third parties, and may not be up to date with the latest source release. Install homebrew if you don't already have it, then: $ brew install git. Apple ships a binary package of Git with Xcode.
If you want to add another GUI tool to this list, just follow the instructions.
The advantage of downloading Git from git-scm is that your download automatically starts with the latest version of Git included with the recommended command prompt, Git Bash. The download source is the same Git for Windows installer as referenced in the steps above. Install Git on Mac. The GitKraken Git Client is free for open source, early-stage startups and non-commercial use. Download this free Git client on Windows, Mac and Linux, and join leading companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon and more.
