Partial A Git GUI's core operations can be built by wrapping the git CLI or libgit2, and a basic client is achievable with vibe coding. Matching a mature native Mac client's performance, edge-case handling, and polish takes years of focused engineering.
What it would actually take: Build a native macOS app in Swift and AppKit or SwiftUI, using libgit2 or shelling out to git, plus a CLI companion that deep-links into app views. The hard parts are handling very large repositories and diffs with good performance, merge and rebase conflict UX, and reliable state across many git edge cases. This requires experienced native macOS and version-control engineering.
