A short Git tools survey
|
Git Tools
|
||||||
========================
|
=========
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When Git was young, people looking for third-party Git-related tools came
|
||||||
|
to the Git project itself to find them, thus a list of such tools was
|
||||||
|
maintained here. These days, however, search engines fill that role much
|
||||||
|
more efficiently, so this manually-maintained list has been retired.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Introduction
|
See also the `contrib/` area, and the Git wiki:
|
||||||

|
http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/InterfacesFrontendsAndTools
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Apart from Git contrib/ area there are some others third-party tools
|
|
||||||
you may want to look.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This document presents a brief summary of each tool and the corresponding
|
|
||||||
link.

|
|
||||||
-----------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- *Cogito* (http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/cogito/)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Cogito is a version control system layered on top of the Git tree history
|
|
||||||
storage system. 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.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Cogito is no longer maintained as most of its functionality
|
|
||||||
is now in core Git.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- *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* (shipped with git-core)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
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.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- *tig* (http://jonas.nitro.dk/tig/)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
tig by Jonas Fonseca is a simple Git repository browser
|
|
||||||
written using ncurses. Basically, it just acts as a front-end
|
|
||||||
for git-log and git-show/git-diff. Additionally, you can also
|
|
||||||
use it as a pager for Git commands.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Foreign SCM interface
|
|
||||||
---------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- *git-svn* (shipped with git-core)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
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.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- *hg-to-git* (contrib/)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
hg-to-git converts a Mercurial repository into a Git one, and
|
|
||||||
preserves the full branch history in the process. hg-to-git can
|
|
||||||
also be used in an incremental way to keep the Git repository
|
|
||||||
in sync with the master Mercurial repository.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
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 modelled on
|
|
||||||
pcl-cvs. It has been developed on Emacs 21 and will probably need some
|
|
||||||
tweaking to work on XEmacs.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/InterfacesFrontendsAndTools has more
|
|
||||||
comprehensive list.
