Support

Git Manager Pro is a native macOS Git client. To use it you need:

• macOS 14 Sonoma or later (Apple Silicon or Intel — universal binary)
• The git command-line tool installed on your Mac. macOS already includes it when you install the Xcode Command Line Tools (xcode-select --install in Terminal). The App invokes the system git binary at /usr/bin/git by default.
• One or more local Git repositories you want to manage

1. Launch Git Manager Pro
2. Click File → Open Repository… or press ⌘O
3. In the system Open panel, navigate to a folder that contains a .git directory
4. Click Open

The repo opens with its current branch, working tree, and history. Git Manager Pro automatically bookmarks it so you can find it again in the sidebar.

1. Click File → Clone Repository…
2. Paste the remote URL (HTTPS or SSH)
3. Pick a local folder where the clone should be placed
4. Click Clone

Authentication is handled by your existing macOS Git credential mechanism — Git Credential Manager, SSH agent, or your ~/.gitconfig. The App does not ask for or store your remote credentials.

1. Right-click any repo in the sidebar and pick Add Tag
2. Type the tag name (e.g. work, personal, archived) and press Return
3. Use the filter at the top of the sidebar to show only repos with a given tag

Bookmarks and tags are stored locally in ~/Library/Application Support/dev.ingenieria.fork-pro/. They are never sent to any server.

1. Check out the branch you want to annotate (sidebar or branch picker)
2. Open the Branch Notes pane (sidebar or View → Show Branch Notes)
3. Type your note — what you were trying, what to test next, anything you'd want to remember in two weeks
4. The note saves as you type and stays attached to the branch (by repo path + branch name) the next time you visit it

Branch notes live in the App's local SwiftData store. They do not get pushed to your Git remote; they are not modifying the repo in any way. If you delete the branch in the App or in Terminal, its note remains attached in case you recreate the branch.

1. Open the repo and choose Repo → Virtual Environment…
2. Pick the kind: Python venv path, Node version (via nvm or fnm), Swift toolchain, or a custom .env profile
3. Fill in the path or version and click Save

Git Manager Pro stores the virtual environment description per repo (locally) so it can be shown next to the repo name. The App does not activate the environment for you — it simply remembers and surfaces it so you don't lose context when you switch back to the repo after a few weeks.

For each file in the working tree, Git Manager Pro shows a small metadata strip with:

• Last modified time — when the file was last touched on disk
• Language — detected by file extension (Swift, Python, JS, Markdown, etc.)
• Line count — for text files; binaries are skipped
• Stash state — whether the file appears in any local stash

The metadata is computed once on first read and cached locally for performance. Touching the file invalidates the cache and recomputes on next view.

Standard Git operations work the way you expect:

• Fetch (⌘F) — fetches updates from the remote without merging
• Pull (⌘⇧P) — fetches and merges (or rebases, depending on your repo config)
• Push (⌘P) — pushes the current branch to its tracked remote
• Commit (⌘⏎) — opens the commit composer with your staged changes

Each of these shells out to the system git binary on the repo you opened. The connection to your remote is made directly by git using the credentials it already knows how to find on your Mac.

1. Open Settings → Appearance → Language
2. Pick a supported language and confirm

Your choice is stored on your Mac and applied the next time you open the App.

Git Manager Pro is a one-time purchase of $99 USD sold directly by the developer. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no premium tiers, no ads. Pay once, keep forever.

Your license key was sent to you in the purchase receipt. To activate Git Manager Pro on a new Mac or after a clean install:

1. Open Git Manager Pro

3. The refund is processed to the original payment method within 3 business days

After the refund is processed, the license key is revoked and the Pro features stop working on first re-check.

A single license can be activated on up to 3 Macs owned by the same person. The license server tracks active activations by a hashed machine identifier. To free up a slot:

1. Open Git Manager Pro on the Mac you want to deactivate
2. Go to Settings → License and click Deactivate this Mac

If you no longer have access to that Mac, email christian@irack.mx and we'll release the slot manually.

No. Git Manager Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. Nothing auto-renews, nothing gets billed again, and there is nothing to cancel.

No. Git Manager Pro has no backend of its own. Your repos stay exactly where you put them on disk. Git Manager Pro only stores its own metadata — bookmarks, tags, branch notes, virtual environment profiles, file metadata cache, and preferences — locally in ~/Library/Application Support/dev.ingenieria.fork-pro/. None of that is ever transmitted to the Developer. When you trigger fetch, pull, push, or clone, the network connection is made by the system git binary directly to the remote your repo is configured to use (GitHub, GitLab, your own server, etc.). See our Privacy Policy for the full breakdown.

No. Git Manager Pro does not use Sentry, Crashlytics, Firebase, Mixpanel, Amplitude, Google Analytics, AppsFlyer, Adjust, Branch, Meta SDK, AdMob, Adapty, RevenueCat, or any other third-party SDK. The App is built only on Apple's first-party frameworks — SwiftUI, AppKit, SwiftData, StoreKit, and Foundation — and it never phones home.

In the App's local SwiftData store, inside ~/Library/Application Support/dev.ingenieria.fork-pro/. They are not pushed to your Git remote, and they do not modify any file inside the repo. You can browse, back up, or delete that folder yourself at any time.

No. The App only invokes standard Git commands when you trigger them in the UI. It does not silently rewrite history, force-push, prune, gc, or change config. Any Git operation you see in the App corresponds to a standard Git command you could run yourself in Terminal — and you can verify what it ran by checking the Activity log inside the App.

Yes. Open Settings → Advanced → Git Binary Path and point to the git executable you prefer (for example a Homebrew install at /opt/homebrew/bin/git or /usr/local/bin/git). The App will use that binary from then on.

Git Manager Pro never sees, stores, or transmits your remote credentials. Authentication is handled entirely by the system git binary and whatever credential helper you already configured: Git Credential Manager, the macOS Keychain helper, an SSH agent for SSH remotes, or a personal access token stored via git config credential.helper. The App is a pass-through.

Yes. Git Manager Pro is a Universal Binary — it runs natively on both Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) and Intel Macs running macOS 14 Sonoma or later.

Git Manager Pro is a macOS-only app. Git workflows fit a desktop better, and there are no plans for an iOS version at this time.

Yes — any remote your local git can already talk to will work. Git Manager Pro is agnostic to the hosting provider. It doesn't bundle special integrations with GitHub or GitLab; it just lets the standard git binary talk to whatever remote your repo points to. HTTPS and SSH remotes both work.

Email christian@irack.mx and include:
