Git Pal

    Installation

    Download the installer for your platform from the latest release. Once installed, Git Pal updates itself.

    macOS

    1. Download the .dmg: aarch64 for Apple Silicon, x64 for Intel.
    2. Open it and drag Git Pal into your Applications folder.

    The first time Git Pal reads its token, macOS may ask for your password to unlock the keychain.

    Windows

    Download the -setup.exe (or the .msi) and run it.

    The installer isn't code signed yet, so SmartScreen may show "Windows protected your PC". Click More info, then Run anyway.

    Linux

    Download the package for your distribution:

    DistributionInstall
    Debian, Ubuntusudo apt install ./Git.Pal_*_amd64.deb
    Fedora, RHELsudo dnf install ./Git.Pal-*.x86_64.rpm
    Otherchmod +x the .AppImage, then run it

    Git Pal stores your token through the Secret Service API. A keyring such as GNOME Keyring or KWallet must be running.

    AI reviews

    AI reviews run a coding agent installed on your machine. Install at least one and make sure its command is on your PATH:

    HarnessCommand
    Claude Codeclaude
    Codexcodex
    Cursorcursor-agent
    Antigravityagy
    OpenCodeopencode

    Everything else works without one.

    Where Git Pal keeps its files

    Everything lives in ~/.config/git-pal, on every platform:

    PathContent
    settings.jsonYour settings
    git-pal.dbReviews, templates, agent chats and viewed files
    git-pal.logLogs
    repositories/Clones and one worktree per reviewed pull request

    Your GitHub token is not in this folder, it's in your system's credential store.
