GitButler

The only version control tool built from the ground up for modern, AI-powered workflows.

[GitButler @gitbutler]

Now GitButler has a CLI!

Stacked and parallel branches, smartlog, simple commit editing, easy undo, json output to every command. And it just works in any Git repo.

Check it out:

mutation commands (e.g. `emend`, `move` etc) change the state, and the agent would have to get the updated "status".

it's helpful to include the updated status together with the ack that mutation was completed (we have a
`--status-after` flag)

[GitButler @gitbutler]

i thought i'd share stuff we learned when building CLI tools **for ai agents**:

- our CLI has a --json output. but according to our benchmarks, the human output performs better in both @claudeai and @OpenAl codex

[GitButler @gitbutler]

⋈ GitButler 0.20.0 just dropped. We hear 🤖 ai agents really like using our CLIs so we made it even better for them clankers!

Multitasking without worktrees anyone?

Also updated the docs 👇🧵

[GitButler @gitbutler]

Other changes include:
- Performance improvement in squashing and branch listing
- Conflicted commits can now be discarded
- Fixed an annoying "Branch cannot be created" bug
- The TUI is has some new tricks up it's sleeve

[GitButler @gitbutler]

@tobeycodes you are gonna love the stuff that comes to the tui in the next release

[GitButler @gitbutler]

@alexeycodes the CLI has a skill (`but skill install`) that will teach your agent nearly all the gitbutler tricks. we will also make the app 'just work' with worktrees too

@jreidgreer @emissionite @github we have some ideas but we want it to be **open** - https://t.co/2WMZIvaD7a

GitButler is rethinking Git version control for the AI coding era, building a smarter branch and commit management tool that makes it easier for developers (and AI agents) to manage multiple concurrent work streams without the pain of traditional Git workflows. Backed by a16z.

Avec is an AI platform for podcast and audio content creation, helping creators produce, edit, and distribute audio content faster with AI-native tools, backed by Lightspeed in a seed round that signals conviction in AI-native creative infrastructure.

Applied Compute provides GPU cloud infrastructure optimized for AI training and inference workloads, targeting the gap between hyperscale cloud providers and smaller AI labs that need flexible, cost-efficient compute access. Kleiner Perkins led.

Yuzu Health is an AI-powered mental health benefits platform for employers, helping companies offer personalized, accessible mental health support to employees at scale, backed by General Catalyst as workplace mental health becomes a board-level priority.

Don't miss our own @aspleenic speaking on the importance of git at #OSDays in Florence tomorrow!

@tritlo been a while since I saw vimscript. lua is nice, but vimscript was weirdly… simple.

[GitButler @gitbutler]

also fixed a bunch of annoying forge / integration edge cases:

- better handling for multiple self-hosted instances
- fixes for GitLab integration loading / ACL errors
- etc.

⋈ GitButler 0.19.9 is out with faster `but tui`, faster `but status`, and a bunch of quality-of-life fixes

this one is pretty nice if you (or your clanker) spend time in the terminal 🧵

[GitButler @gitbutler]

on the CLI side:

- `but status` got significantly faster
- `but push` now updates the app UI so the desktop state stays in sync
- fixed a Windows stack overflow crash (do people use CLI tools on windows?)
