Glint Opens Public Beta of Its AI-Native Git Workspace – Agentic Coding, Worktrees, and Terminals in One App

Native desktop application brings multi-repo Git management, terminals, worktrees, and AI-assisted development into one repository-aware workspace

Glint Software announced the public beta of Glint (glint.dev), a native desktop workspace that brings multi-repo Git management, native terminals, and agentic AI coding into a single application. Instead of stitching together a code editor, multiple chat windows, and separate terminal tabs, developers get one repository-aware environment built for the way AI-assisted development actually happens.

As teams increasingly use AI agents to refactor code and ship features, the surrounding tools have not kept pace. Editor extensions often bolt AI onto interfaces designed primarily for single-file editing, lose context when developers switch branches, and treat multiple repositories as an afterthought.

Glint takes a different approach: a purpose-built desktop application where Git worktrees, issues, pull requests, terminals, and an AI agent called Glint Assist share the same workspace and repository context. Glint also supports multiple providers, working across GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket rather than requiring developers to use a single repository host.

“Developers shouldn’t have to bounce between chat windows, terminal tabs, and editor extensions just to run an AI-driven refactor,” said Jim Bourke, Founder of Glint Software. “We built Glint as a native desktop app because repository awareness, responsiveness, and developer control matter. We’re opening the beta now because the core workflow is solid, and we want real multi-repo workloads shaping where it goes next.”

What Glint offers

Agentic AI in context. Glint Assist works directly with repositories, worktrees, files, and terminals, allowing it to read files, propose edits, and run commands with awareness of the active project. Developers can also run CLI agents such as Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini in built-in terminal tabs.

Multi-repo and worktree-native. Glint is designed around multiple repositories and Git worktrees, making parallel branches, related projects, and simultaneous development workflows easier to manage.

One workspace, many tools. File browsing and editing, commit history, branches, pull requests, issues, and terminals are brought together in a tabbed, splittable interface, allowing more day-to-day development work to remain in one place.

Works with major repository hosts. Glint supports GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket, so teams are not forced to adopt a single provider to gain an integrated development experience.

A native desktop application. Built natively rather than as a browser-based wrapper, Glint is designed for developers working across large, complex, and multi-repository codebases.
