# Introducing the GitButler CLI

**[GitButler Blog](https://daily.dev/sources/gitbutler)** · 6 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

GitButler has launched a CLI tool called `but` that brings its desktop client's Git workflow enhancements to the command line. Key features include parallel and stacked branches (without stashing), unlimited undo via an operations log, simplified commit editing commands (reword, amend, squash, absorb, move), built-in GitHub/GitLab PR integration, and JSON output for all commands to support scripting and AI agents. Installation is available via Homebrew, a curl script, or through the existing desktop client. The tool is currently in technical preview and Mac-focused, with broader platform support in progress.
