GitAgent
Agentic graph for commit and deploy workflows
Turns a dirty working tree into an open pull request, one approved step at a time. Scans your repo, drafts a commit message and a PR description with a local ollama model or Mistral, then commits, pushes, and opens the PR — but nothing touches git history or the remote without an explicit yes at each gated step.
Free for personal, educational and non-profit use, with 5 repositories. Commercial use — including a solo consultant on client work — requires GitAgent Pro, which also covers every repository, in every folder. Every build is produced by release CI and served from mayorana.ch.
The macOS build is signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized, so it opens with a normal double-click.

Overview
Most AI git tooling has the same problem: it is either a text generator that hands you a commit message to paste, or an agent that runs commands on your repository and tells you afterwards. Neither is what you want on a repo you care about.
GitAgent models the work as a graph of steps — scan the tree, draft the commit message, commit, push, draft the PR description, open the PR — and stops at each one. You see what it proposes and what command it will run before it runs.
Drafting can run entirely on a local ollama model, which means the diff of a private repository never leaves your machine. Mistral is there if you would rather use a hosted model.
What it does
Approval at every step
Nothing touches git history or the remote without an explicit go-ahead on that specific step. The agent proposes; you approve.
Commit messages from the actual diff
Scans the working tree and drafts a message describing what changed, rather than restating the branch name.
PR descriptions
Drafts the pull request body from the commits on the branch, then opens the PR through the gh CLI.
Local model support
Point it at an ollama model running on your own machine and the contents of a private repository never leave it. Mistral is available as a hosted alternative.
The whole path in one place
Scan, commit, push and open the PR without switching between a terminal, a browser and a chat window.
Requirements
- macOS on Apple Silicon, Windows, or Linux x86_64
- git, and the GitHub CLI (gh) authenticated, for opening pull requests
- Either ollama running locally, or a Mistral API key

View on GitHubQuestions
Can it push or rewrite history on its own?
No. Every step that touches git history or the remote is gated behind an explicit approval for that step.
Does my code get sent to a third party?
Only if you choose a hosted model. With a local ollama model, drafting happens on your machine and the diff never leaves it.
Does it work with GitLab or Bitbucket?
Pull request creation goes through the GitHub CLI, so PR opening is GitHub-only today. The commit and push steps work on any git remote.
