Questions, answered.

Boughwright is a native git client for macOS. Point it at the folder where you keep your code and it lists every git repository inside, with each one's branch, changed files and ahead/behind counts. It also lets you pick which GitHub account commits and pushes in each repository.

Each account stores a token in your macOS Keychain, plus the name and email you want on commits. When you commit, Boughwright passes that name and email to git for that one commit. When you push, pull or fetch, it gives git that account's token for github.com only, so other hosts keep using your normal credentials. Your global ~/.gitconfig is never changed.

Either one. Sign in on GitHub with a one-time code, or paste a personal access token with the repo, read:org and user:email scopes. GitHub Enterprise hosts work too.

No. Boughwright runs your installed git: Homebrew's if you have it, otherwise Apple's. Hooks, Git LFS, commit signing and aliases keep working exactly as they do in Terminal.

macOS 14 Sonoma or later, on Apple silicon and Intel Macs. It's a native SwiftUI app.

Yes for everyday git work: status, staging, commits, branches, history, push and pull work with any remote. Account switching with stored tokens is built for GitHub and GitHub Enterprise. For other hosts, Boughwright uses the credentials git already has.

Yes. Connect both accounts in Boughwright and choose one per repository. Commits use that account's name and email, and pushes use its token, without editing ~/.gitconfig or ~/.ssh/config.

Assign your work account to the work repositories. Boughwright does this automatically when the remote belongs to your work organisation, and it shows the account right above the Commit button so you can see which identity you're about to use.

No. You can give each account its own SSH key, or let Boughwright send git@github.com remotes over HTTPS with that account's token. Your remotes can stay as plain git@github.com URLs.

In the macOS Keychain. They're passed to git through environment variables for a single command, so they never appear in a config file or in the process list.

Yes. The free version includes every git feature, one workspace folder and two GitHub accounts, with no time limit. Pro adds unlimited accounts and folders, Fetch All, Pull All and background fetch.

Pro is a one-time payment of $39 that includes one year of updates. There's no subscription. After the first year you can renew updates for $19 a year, but you don't have to.

Nothing breaks. Every version released during your year stays Pro forever. Newer versions run in Free mode until you renew for $19, which adds another year of updates.

Yes. A license is for one person, on all of their own Macs.

No. License keys are verified offline with a digital signature, so Boughwright never phones home to check your license.
