SmartGit is now available with its full feature set free of charge for your own unpaid, non-commercial hobby projects.

Download

A professional Git client at zero cost for your personal, non-commercial projects.

SmartGit helps you see your branches, commits, and changes clearly - whether you are building a personal app, learning Git, experimenting with a new technology, or working on a game.

And now, your Hobby License gives you more freedom.

Starting with SmartGit 26.1.050, the Hobby License includes the full feature set (except enterprise integrations).

You can now:

  • Use SmartGit with any repository for your eligible hobby projects.
  • Use the Standard Window for your everyday Git workflow.
  • Use repositories without cloud-based unlocking.

This gives you more flexibility in how you work and more tools to help you understand and manage your project.

Free licenses for other non-commercial uses

A Hobby License is one of several ways to use SmartGit free of charge. Other categories include:

  • Students & education: Students and employees of public educational institutions can apply with their educational email address.
  • Open-source development: Developers who spend the majority of their development work on eligible open-source projects can apply. Occasional unpaid contributors may qualify for a Hobby License.
  • Charitable organizations: Eligible public charitable organizations working in philanthropy, health research, education, or social well-being can apply.

Each category has its own eligibility requirements and verification. Find the right free license for your use case.

Give your Hobby Project more freedom.
