Sublime Merge is a high-performance Git GUI client designed for developers seeking precise control and speed in their version control workflows, built by the makers of Sublime Text.

---

🚀 Overview

Sublime Merge is a cross-platform Git client that brings the speed and elegance of Sublime Text to Git operations. It offers line-by-line staging, commit editing, blame views, and seamless integration with the command line, making Git workflows faster and more intuitive.

This project solves the problem of sluggish Git GUIs that hinder productivity and lack granular control over changes. Many tools force users to stage entire files or hunks imprecisely, leading to messy commits—Sublime Merge enables precise, line-level staging and high-speed performance via its custom Git reading library.

It's built for developers, power users, and teams who rely on Git daily and want a tool that bridges GUI ease with CLI power. The Sublime HQ team created it to match the performance standards of Sublime Text, providing a superior alternative to existing Git clients.
