macOS

Homebrew

This is the recommended installation flow for the desktop app.

Install the app from the tap:

brew tap auto-explore/gitcomet
brew install --cask gitcomet

Disk image (.dmg)

If you do not want to use Homebrew, you can also install GitComet manually from the macOS disk image:

1. Download the .dmg file from GitComet releases.
2. Open the disk image.
3. Drag GitComet to your Applications folder.
4. Launch GitComet from Applications.

macOS troubleshooting

If you downloaded the app manually and macOS reports that GitComet "is damaged and can't be opened", this is due to Apple's Gatekeeper quarantine for apps downloaded outside the App Store.

To remove the quarantine attribute, run:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/GitComet.app

Optional CLI install

brew install gitcomet-cli

Verify

gitcomet --help

If the command is available, the installation completed successfully.
