BitBraid is an independent project, not affiliated with or endorsed by the maker of any other git client. Parts of its behaviour and layout are modelled on other git clients, studied only through what is publicly available: documentation, help pages, screenshots, videos, and how those programs behave in use.
No commercial program was decompiled, disassembled or otherwise reverse engineered, none of their source code was obtained, and none of their files were inspected or copied. BitBraid’s code, icons and artwork are its own or used under open licences.
