Focus Git – one branch at a time

See only the branch you care about, no more rainbow commit spaghetti

Problem
With SourceGit or Fork open on multiple branches, the graph floods with colored vertical lines and interleaved commits, making it impossible to focus on one branch's history; users even suspect they are using it wrong. Managing all local repos and seeing multi-branch diffs in one place remains unsatisfied.
Solution
A desktop Git client that defaults to a "branch focus" view: selecting one branch shows only its linear commit list, collapsing other branches into a sidebar. When comparison is needed, explicitly overlay one or two branches with side-by-side or three-way diffs instead of permanent noise.
Users
Mid-to-senior developers juggling multiple branches, and indie devs or freelancers with many local repos
MVP
Unified local repo list; single-branch focused view filtering unrelated commits; two-branch overlay comparison and diff; standard pull/push/merge/rebase actions; ship on one platform first
Revenue
One-time purchase (cheaper than commercial Git GUIs), free for students; team licenses and corporate invoicing as an upsell
Why now
Existing Git GUIs are either free-but-cluttered or commercial-and-expensive, while parallel branch work is now the norm; a Rust/Tauri native client with a focused UX has a clear wedge
