Compare
How gity stacks up against the alternatives.
Honest side-by-side comparisons. When gity is the right pick, and when it isn't.
vs untrackedCache
gity vs Git's `untrackedCache`
Git's untrackedCache speeds up status by remembering untracked-file lists. Here's what it does, what it doesn't, and why fsmonitor is the bigger win.
vs Scalar / VFS for Git
gity vs Scalar, VFS for Git, and ProjFS
Microsoft's lineage of giant-monorepo tools versus a focused user-space Git accelerator. Where each fits.
vs Native fsmonitor
gity vs Git's Built-in fsmonitor
Git 2.37+ ships its own fsmonitor daemon. Here's what it does, what it doesn't, and when adding gity on top is worth it.
vs Watchman
gity vs Watchman
Meta's general-purpose file watcher versus a focused Git accelerator. Here's how to pick — and when running both makes sense.
Still not sure?
Try gity for ten minutes.
Install takes one command. Registering your biggest repo takes a second. If gity isn't earning its keep, `gity unregister` puts everything back.
