A fast, native Git client for Windows

No installer
Extract the folder and run weaver.exe. There is no setup wizard to click through, and settings live in one folder under %APPDATA%.
-
Refreshes without polling
Weaver listens for native directory-change notifications, so an idle repository costs nothing and an edit shows up moments after you save.
-
Works with Git for Windows
It uses your existing Git, including Git Credential Manager for one-click GitHub sign-in and Windows Credential Manager for storage.
