ENGINEERING-NATIVE GIT CLIENT

TOPOLOGICAL GIT GRAPH.
BLUEPRINT PRECISION.

FlowGit replaces archaic commit ladders with an interactive, node-based DAG visual engine. Spawns authentic Git binaries through safe argument arrays with zero shell string interpolation, yielding instantaneous diffs, porcelain-v1 staging, and SQLite WAL caching for massive enterprise repositories.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

ENGINEERED FOR WORKFLOW VELOCITY

Every component in FlowGit is designed around deterministic Git execution, strict context isolation, and terminal-grade monospaced ergonomics.

// 01 — VISUAL ARCHITECTURE

Signature Blueprint Git Graph

Infinite canvas pan-and-zoom DAG renderer. Computes real topological ancestry, non-overlapping lane columns, and parent-child cubic Bezier splines. Never get lost in sprawling branch merges again.

Infinite dot-grid canvas (0.25x to 3.0x zoom)
Live minimap radar with viewport box tracking
Instant jump-to-HEAD and filter search

// 02 — PROCESS SECURITY

Zero Shell Concatenation

Direct binary invocation via safe argv arrays (spawn('git', [args])). Eliminates shell escape vulnerabilities, handles spaces and unicode filenames securely, and scrubs credentials before logging.

Context isolation with strict IPC channel guards
Automatic token & HTTP basic auth redaction
Multi-stage Windows Git binary detector

// 03 — HIGH PERFORMANCE CACHING

SQLite WAL Persistence

Instantaneous startup and sub-second repo switching. FlowGit persists repository records, pinned workspaces, and graph coordinates in an embedded SQLite engine with Write-Ahead Logging (WAL).

Zero cold-start lag on 100k+ commit repositories
Atomic disk commits with zero file corruption
Zero cloud dependency — 100% local data

// 04 — STAGING & COMMITS

Porcelain-v1 Index Staging

Deterministic file staging based directly on Git's porcelain status format. Atomic file actions with confirmation safeguards for destructive operations.

Clear Staged, Unstaged, Untracked & Conflicted separation
Amend commit flag & live 72-character counter
Selective hunk staging and safe worktree discard

// 05 — COMPARISON ENGINE

Unified & Split Diff Viewer

Terminal-grade diff parsing engine with additions/deletions highlighting, line numbering for both revisions, and intelligent context folding for unchanged code.

Side-by-side split & unified inline comparison modes
Protective threshold for binary and large files
Design-system safe muted color accents

// 06 — BRANCHES & SYNC

Branch Matrix & Stash Sync

Complete local and remote-tracking branch management with upstream sync indicators (↑ ahead / ↓ behind), annotated tags, and untracked-file stash operations.

Safe push with force-with-lease protection
Network error classification with actionable recovery
Instant stash preview, pop, apply, and drop
