Git is too complex for everyday office work, so I built a simpler alternative. (Beta + Free Passes 🎟️)

Hey everyone, 👋

I'm a college student and I've been working on a solo project called LocalBranch. Standard Git is amazing for developers, but it can be notoriously overwhelming for non-technical office workers or simple team workflows. I wanted to build a much more intuitive, user-friendly alternative designed specifically for those environments.

I finally launched the beta version today, and I’m looking for some honest feedback to help me figure out what to improve.

⚠️ Full transparency:

Since I'm a student bootstrapping this on a zero-dollar budget, I haven't purchased a Windows code signing certificate yet. This means you will likely see a Windows SmartScreen warning when installing the app. I promise there's nothing malicious—it's just an unsigned indie app—but I wanted to be totally upfront with you about it.

🎁 Thank You Giveaway:

To say thank you for trusting me and testing it out, I’m giving away 300 1-month free passes for the beta!
