Could you build this?
Partial A Git GUI's interface and common workflows (status, diff, commit, branch) can be vibe-coded. A usable native client still needs robust Git internals, large-repo performance, and a native UI toolkit, which are hard to get right without systems experience.
What it would actually take: Building this means choosing a native GUI toolkit and wiring it to Git either by shelling out to the git CLI or through libgit2 bindings. The hard parts are performance on large repositories, correct handling of merge, rebase, and conflict states, and cross-platform packaging, which call for experienced systems and desktop developers.
