tratto
Open your first repository
tratto keeps your repositories in workspaces. A workspace is a named group of projects, and a project is a folder, usually a Git repository. The first time you start tratto there is one empty workspace, "My workspace".
Add repositories from your disk
An empty workspace offers three things:
- Add all N repositories found: tratto has already looked through your home folder for Git repositories and adds every one it found.
- Add repository…: pick one folder.
- New project: an empty project you fill later.
The sidebar also lists what tratto found under On this computer; drag a repository from there onto a workspace or a project.
Where tratto looks is a setting: Settings › General sets the projects folder (your home folder by default; several folders are separated by commas) and how deep to look (5 levels by default, up to 12).
Clone a repository
File › Clone… (⇧⌘N on macOS, Ctrl+Shift+N on Linux) asks for the URL and the destination, shows the progress, and opens the repository in the Git module when it is done. When it finds nothing to authenticate with, tratto offers to try HTTPS instead, and it tells you why a clone failed.
Switch between repositories
Press ⌘P / Ctrl+P for Quick Command: type part of a repository's name and press Enter. See Quick Command.

File › Open…, File › Create New Local Repository…, the Open Recent list, New Tab and New Window are in the menu but greyed out. Use the workspace's Add repository… instead of Open, and git init before adding a new repository.
