Gitot - Godot Git Tool

Gitot is a lightweight Git workflow plugin for the Godot 4 editor intended for solo developers who want fast, reliable Git operations (stage/unstage, commit, stash/pop, fetch/push/pull), inline diff gutter, full diff viewer, and issue tracker without leaving the editor.

Why Gitot

Git integrations for Godot either wrap libgit2 via GDExtension or require a separate installed application. Gitot does neither:

• Pure GDScript. No GDExtension, no bundled libgit2, no compiled binaries to trust or keep updated across platforms.
• Wraps the system git binary directly. If your git works in a terminal, it works in Gitot — same config, same credentials, same behavior you already rely on.
• Built for solo developers. No team-workflow ceremony — status, commit, and push are one click away, tuned for a single-developer loop rather than large-team review tooling.

Features

• Commit & Sync: Stage or unstage files individually or in bulk, write multiline commit messages, and Commit, Amend, Push, or Pull. Amend is guarded and automatically forces the next push when required.
• Stash Manager (Shelf): Stash all changes (staged + unstaged + untracked) under an optional name, then pop or drop any entry from a capped, foldable list (limit is a setting, default 10). Pop refreshes only the files it touched in the editor.
• Local Branch Management: Foldable branch list (name, ahead/behind, last update). Double-click to switch, + to create a branch inline, trash button to delete a merged local branch. Open scenes refresh automatically on switch without a full project rescan. A toast warns if an open script changed on disk, or if changed files couldn't be reliably detected (see Limitations).
• Remote Branch Management: Fetch remote updates from the branch fold's title bar, list remote-only branches, and double-click one to check it out with automatic tracking.
• Tag Versioning: Push with or without an annotated tag. Auto-tagging settings - see _Details_ below.
• Commit History: Browse recent commits (message, author, date) with a count filter (10/20/30). Click a commit to inspect its changes file-by-file in the bottom-dock diff viewer.
• Color Diff Gutter: Modified and added lines are marked directly in the script editor's gutter. Click to open the matching hunk in the diff viewer.
• Diff Viewer Panel: Bottom-dock full-context unified diff for the current script. Basic syntax highlighting, foldable hunk with headers, per-line +/- gutter with real source line numbers and color-coded additions/deletions. Also browses any past commit file-by-file: pick a file from the changed-files list to view its diff. (Click the commit header to copy its hash).
• Restore File: In the diff viewer's commit-history mode, restore a file to its content at that commit. Confirmation dialog before overwriting uncommitted changes.
• GitHub Issues Tracker Board: Split list/detail view (like the commit history) of the repo's open issues (requires a PAT); opt-out in settings. Sortable 6-column list (number, title, date, type, priority, labels), Type/Priority/Label filters, full issue detail (metadata, colored labels, Markdown body, Open in Browser). Create a branch directly from an issue, auto-named from its number/title/type (editable), with a base-branch picker and a dirty-working-tree confirmation.
• Repo Status Panel: One-line summary of the current repo, branch (detached HEAD flagged in red), branch scope, and ahead/behind sync status.
• Large-File Guard: Blocks staging any file over a configurable size limit to prevent repository bloat, flagging oversized files with a warning icon in the staged/unstaged list.
• Gitot Logger: Git and Gitot output are routed through Gitot's own dock logger to keep the Godot output panel clean. A Reflog button dumps the last 20 reflog entries to the console.

• A GitHub personal access token (optional, only needed for the Issues integration)

Status

Actively maintained, pre-1.0. Core Git operations (status, stage, commit, branch, push/pull, diff, stash/pop, tags) are stable and in daily use on this project's own repository. Bug reports and feedback are the main thing this release is asking for.
