Requirements

Before you install GIT DELTA, make sure your machine meets these basics.

Platforms

Windows (x64, arm64)Supported
macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel)Supported
LinuxNot supported

Git

GIT DELTA does not bundle Git. It runs the git command on your machine so that:

  • Credential helpers work as they do in your terminal
  • Hooks and .gitattributes (including Git LFS) behave normally
  • Tools like core.fsmonitor can speed up large repos

Minimum version: Git 2.30 or later, available on your PATH.

Install Git

PlatformSuggested command
Windowswinget install --id Git.Git — or download from git-scm.com
macOSbrew install git — or install the Xcode Command Line Tools

Verify

git --version

You should see a version of 2.30 or newer.

tip

If Git is installed in a non-standard location, you can point GIT DELTA at it later in Settings → Git.

Runtime

Published installers are self-contained. You do not need to install the .NET runtime to run a release build.

Building from source requires the .NET 10 SDK. See the project README for developer commands.
