Git Watcher is a multi-platform desktop app written in pure HTML and Javascript using nw.js (node-webkit).
It shows diff information about local staged/unstaged files and allows you to commit changes. UI is updated in real-time by detecting file changes and git index changes. Submodules also inform changes to their parent module.
It also organizes repository submodules in tabs, so that you can work easily with them without the need of having multiple git gui instances or shells.
In my opinion, the native git gui app is awful and lacks a lot of features. This app aims to outstand it :)
