Open Source Windows Git Software

ripgrep is a line-oriented search tool that actively searches the directory you're currently in for a regex pattern. By default, ripgrep will ignore your .gitignore and skip hidden files or directories and binary files automatically. ripgrep has first class support on Windows, macOS and Linux, with binary downloads available for every release. ripgrep is similar to other popular search tools like The Silver Searcher, ack and grep. ripgrep supports arbitrary input preprocessing filters which could be PDF text extraction, less supported decompression, decrypting, automatic encoding detection and so on. In other words, use ripgrep if you like speed, filtering by default, fewer bugs and Unicode support.

Gogs is a simple, stable, self-hosted Git service that is easy to install and setup. All you have to do is run the binary on any platform that Go supports: Linux, macOS and Windows. You may also install from source, from packages, or ship with Docker or Vagrant. Gogs is very lightweight with minimal hardware requirements, running on Raspberry Pi and even on NAS devices. Gogs offers plenty of great features, including various access repositories, repository and organization webhooks, repository Git hooks, repository management and so much more. It also offers software, service and product support for various areas such as project management (Kanboard, Taiga), DevOps (Fabric8) and team communication (BearyChat).

Albedo is an open-source recommender system aimed at helping developers discover GitHub repositories by learning from activity signals. It treats repositories and developers as a graph of interactions and applies large-scale matrix factorization to model affinities, with Apache Spark providing the distributed data processing. The project focuses on implicit feedback—stars, watches, and other engagement metrics—so it can build useful recommendations without explicit ratings. A reproducible setup and Makefile-driven workflow streamline tasks like spinning up services, loading datasets, training models, and generating candidate lists. Because it’s built around Spark’s scalable primitives, Albedo can experiment on substantial snapshots of GitHub metadata rather than toy corpora. The repo is also educational: it demonstrates a practical end-to-end pipeline from ingestion and feature preparation to training and ranking.

YaDT - Yet another Diff Tool. It is another front-end for diff and in earlier versions diff3 utility. With YaDT you can compare and merge 2 and/or 3 files. YaDT is written on Tcl/Tk and wrapped in a single executable file with the help of sdx and tclkit. diff and cvs utilities are embedded inside YaDT. Also, YaDT supports Git and Mercurial repositories, but git and hg are not embedded inside YaDT, you should have git/hg executable in your path environment.
