Remergd

Questions and answers

Does Remergd send my code or data anywhere?

No. Remergd talks to Git on your PC and to the hosts you connect (Azure DevOps, GitHub). It collects no usage data. Update checks send only the version you have and your release lane.

AI help is the one thing that can send code, and only when you ask for it: it is off by default, uses the Claude Code or GitHub Copilot CLI you already have, shows what would be sent, and asks first. It leaves out lockfiles, generated files and anything you list, and blocks requests that look like they contain a secret.

Do I need an account?

No. Remergd works without an account, and everything that does not need a Git host works offline. Connecting Azure DevOps or GitHub is optional.

Where are my tokens?

In Windows Credential Manager, in entries named com.remergd.app. Never in Remergd’s database or its logs.

How do updates work?

Remergd checks for updates in the background, downloads them, and offers Restart to update when one is ready. Every update is signed, and Remergd refuses one that does not match its key.

Pick how early you get new versions in Settings → Updates & about:

  • Stable (the default) gets tested releases.
  • Insiders gets every new build first, plus every stable release.

Moving from Insiders to Stable never installs an older version: you stay on your Insiders build until a newer stable release comes out.

Where does Remergd keep its data?

  • Settings and the list of repositories: %APPDATA%\com.remergd.app
  • Logs: %LOCALAPPDATA%\com.remergd.app\logs, kept for 14 days, with tokens removed
  • Tokens: Windows Credential Manager, as above

Your repositories stay where they are. Remergd does not copy them.

How do I report a problem or suggest something?

Select Feedback in the status bar at the bottom of the window. It writes an email in your mail program, and you choose where it goes. Under Settings → System you can also export diagnostics: a zip of the last week’s logs and a short system summary, with tokens removed, to attach to a report. Nothing is sent unless you send it.

I used GitDesk. What happened?

GitDesk is now Remergd. Installing Remergd moves your repositories, settings, sign-ins and open tabs over on the first start, and replaces GitDesk’s program, shortcuts and uninstall entry.

How do I uninstall?

In Windows, open Settings → Apps → Installed apps, find Remergd and choose Uninstall. Your repositories are not touched. To remove everything else too, delete the two com.remergd.app folders above and the com.remergd.app entries in Credential Manager.

Is there a Mac or Linux version?

Not yet. Remergd is for Windows 10 and 11.
