I built Git Switch to solve a problem I deal with every day while working across multiple repositories and services.
Most of the time, my workflow looked like this:
<ul>
<li>open multiple terminal tabs</li>
<li>start frontend manually</li>
<li>start backend manually</li>
<li>run workers separately</li>
<li>switch branches</li>
<li>restart everything again</li>
</ul>
It became repetitive and inefficient.
So I built Git Switch, a native macOS app that combines Git workflows and local development environment management in one place.
Some features:
<ul>
<li>multi-repo management</li>
<li>one-click project groups</li>
<li>built-in terminal support</li>
<li>branch-aware auto restart</li>
<li>smart Git workflows</li>
<li>AI-generated commit messages</li>
<li>inline diffs and commit history</li>
</ul>
Tech stack:
<ul>
<li>Tauri</li>
<li>Rust</li>
<li>React</li>
<li>TypeScript</li>
<li>TailwindCSS</li>
</ul>
One of the hardest parts was handling process cleanup correctly so restarting projects does not leave orphaned processes running in the background.
The app is still evolving, but it is already improving my daily workflow significantly.
Would love feedback from developers who work with multiple repos and local services.

Git Switch is a native macOS app built with Tauri, Rust, React, and TypeScript that streamlines multi-repo development workflows. It lets developers manage multiple repositories and services from one place, with features like one-click project group startup, branch-aware auto-restart, built-in terminal, smart Git workflows, and AI-generated commit messages. The app addresses the repetitive task of manually starting and restarting frontend, backend, and worker processes across multiple terminal tabs when switching branches.
