GitPilot — AI Git Identity Manager
Native desktop app that manages multiple Git identities, auto-switches profiles per repo, generates AI commit messages with a bundled local LLM (llama-server + Qwen 2.5 Coder), and provides a unified dashboard across all repositories. Built with Tauri 2 (Rust + React). No cloud, fully offline.
