GITmaxed Features — Complete Feature Overview

GITmaxed includes every feature of GitHub Desktop plus multi-account capabilities that no official build offers. This page lists the complete feature set so you know exactly what the application does before installing it.

Multi-account features (exclusive to GITmaxed)

  • Add any number of GitHub.com accounts — no "existing account" warning, no limit warnings, no sign-out required to add another.
  • Per-account credential storage — each account keeps its own OAuth token; tokens never overwrite each other.
  • Per-repository account assignment — a picker in the Changes sidebar lets you choose which account a repository uses; the choice is remembered.
  • Automatic folder-based assignment — repositories stored inside an account's folder are auto-assigned to that account.
  • Credential routing — authentication for fetch, push, and clone is handled by the account assigned to that repository, automatically.

Core Git features (inherited from GitHub Desktop)

  • Clone, add, and create repositories
  • Commit with staging of whole files or individual lines and hunks
  • Push, pull, fetch with one click
  • Branch create, delete, rename, merge, rebase
  • Pull request creation and browsing for GitHub.com
  • Commit history graph with search
  • Diff viewer with syntax highlighting
  • Simple branch-switching workflow with drag-and-drop file handling
  • Repository list with filtering and grouping
  • "Open in Command Prompt / PowerShell / external tools" integration
  • Git LFS support
  • Keyboard shortcuts identical to GitHub Desktop
  • Dark and light themes, plus Appearance settings (including keeping the worktree toolbar segment always visible)

Quality-of-life features

  • Owner subfolder on clone — repositories land in a folder named after the owning account, keeping disk organized automatically
  • Consistent GITmaxed branding — window titles, menus, dialogs, notifications, and installer all show GITmaxed
  • Smart updater — silent when current, clear update window when a newer release is published
  • Notifications for push/pull results, with readable success/failure iconography in the checks summary
