GitKraken's solo core is compact: build a repository-local Git client assistant that indexes one codebase, calls one model, proposes diffs, runs tests, and records every change. A competent builder can reach a useful personal version in one sitting, while the paid product mainly wins on model, context, integration.

Build a usable personal replacement for the core loop of GitKraken.
Use exactly this stack: Python 3.12 + Typer + SQLite + Textual for a rich terminal UI (or PySide6 for a desktop GUI, default to PySide6 for a true GitKraken feel).
Primary job: Build a repository-local Git client assistant that indexes one codebase, calls one model, proposes diffs, runs tests, and records every change.
Start from an empty folder and create the complete working project.

Build a highly functional, visually appealing local Git GUI client that serves as a powerful personal replacement for GitKraken's core workflow.
Use exactly this stack: Electron, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and simple local file storage/SQLite for indexing. Do not use alternative frameworks.
Your primary objective is to build a robust desktop application that visualizes repository history and simplifies complex version control operations into intuitive actions.

**Core Visual Interface & History Graph:**
- Implement an interactive, beautiful Commit Graph. This is the centerpiece of the app. It must visually map out repository history, showing branches, merges, commits, and tags in a clear, color-coded node-and-line structure.
- The commit graph should support scrolling, zooming, and clicking on nodes to view detailed commit information (author, date, message, diffs).
- Provide a unified 'Focus View' that aggregates recent activity, active branches, and pending changes across the currently open repository.

**Seamless Git Operations:**
- Create an intuitive workflow for staging and unstaging files, writing commit messages, and committing changes.
- Implement drag-and-drop functionality: drag a branch onto another to initiate a merge, rebase, or pull request.
- Provide simple, one-click buttons for Push, Pull, Fetch, and Sync operations.
- Build a robust Undo/Redo system that seamlessly reverts recent Git actions (e.g., undoing a commit or a stash) with clear visual feedback.

**Merge Conflict Resolution & Diff Viewing:**
- Include a built-in, side-by-side merge conflict resolution tool. It should highlight conflicting blocks and allow the user to easily select 'Keep Local', 'Keep Remote', or 'Combine'.
- Provide a rich diff viewer for unstaged and staged changes, featuring syntax highlighting and inline/side-by-side view toggles.

**AI-Powered Assistance (Local/Configurable):**
- Integrate an AI assistant feature that connects to a user-provided API key (e.g., OpenAI or a local LLM via Ollama).
- Use this AI to automatically generate contextual commit messages based on staged diffs.
- Add an 'Explain this Commit' feature that summarizes large or confusing commits in plain English.
- Provide AI-assisted suggestions for resolving complex merge conflicts.

**Security, Configuration, & Polish:**
- Build a robust Profile Management system allowing users to switch between different Git user configurations (name, email) seamlessly.
- Include a secure local credential manager for SSH keys and HTTPS tokens, encrypting sensitive data locally.
- Ensure the application is fully accessible, featuring extensive keyboard shortcuts for all major operations, focus states, and a beautiful dark/light mode UI.
- Write comprehensive unit tests for the Git operation wrappers and the local database indexing. Implement end-to-end testing for the core commit and branch creation workflows.
- Provide a detailed README explaining the architecture, setup instructions, and how to configure the optional AI integration. Exclude telemetry, ads, or enforced cloud accounts.
