It aims at seamless user interface and ease of use, + providing generally smoother user experience than the "raw" Core GIT + itself and indeed many other version control systems. + + + - *pg* (http://www.spearce.org/category/projects/scm/pg/) + + pg is a shell script wrapper around GIT to help the user manage a set of + patches to files. pg is somewhat like quilt or StGIT, but it does have a + slightly different feature set. + + + - *StGit* (http://www.procode.org/stgit/) + + Stacked GIT provides a quilt-like patch management functionality in the + GIT environment. You can easily manage your patches in the scope of GIT + until they get merged upstream. + + +History Viewers +--------------- + + - *gitk* (shipped with git-core) + + gitk is a simple TK GUI for browsing history of GIT repositories easily. + + + - *gitview* (contrib/) + + gitview is a GTK based repository browser for git + + + - *gitweb* (ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/gitweb/) + + GITweb provides full-fledged web interface for GIT repositories. + + + - *qgit* (http://digilander.libero.it/mcostalba/) + + QGit is a git/StGIT GUI viewer built on Qt/C++. QGit could be used + to browse history and directory tree, view annotated files, commit + changes cherry picking single files or applying patches. + Currently it is the fastest and most feature rich among the git + viewers and commit tools. + + + +Foreign SCM interface +--------------------- + + - *git-svn* (contrib/) + + git-svn is a simple conduit for changesets between a single Subversion + branch and git. + + + - *quilt2git / git2quilt* (http://home-tj.org/wiki/index.php/Misc) + + These utilities convert patch series in a quilt repository and commit + series in git back and forth. + + +Others +------ + + - *(h)gct* (http://www.cyd.liu.se/users/~freku045/gct/) + + Commit Tool or (h)gct is a GUI enabled commit tool for git and + Mercurial (hg). It allows the user to view diffs, select which files + to committed (or ignored / reverted) write commit messages and + perform the commit itself. + + - *git.el* (contrib/) + + This is an Emacs interface for git. The user interface is modeled on + pcl-cvs. It has been developed on Emacs 21 and will probably need some + tweaking to work on XEmacs. |
