GitBeholder Wiki

GitBeholder is a modern Git backend and desktop client. The backend is an Elixir/Phoenix API that runs native Git CLI commands; the desktop app (app/, Tauri + React + TypeScript) is a single window with resizable, zoomable columns for browsing repositories, staging and committing changes, and visualizing history.

This wiki documents what the product does today. For setup instructions, the full HTTP API reference, and architecture decision records, see the README and docs/ in the repository.
