Document git-gui, git-citool as mainporcelain manual pages
Jakub Narebski pointed out that the git-gui blame viewer is not a widely known feature, but is incredibly useful. Part of the issue is advertising. Up until now we haven't even referenced git-gui from within the core Git manual pages, mostly because I just wasn't sure how I wanted to supply git-gui documentation to end-users, or how that documentation should integrate with the core Git documentation. Based upon Jakub's comment that many users may not even know that the gui is available in a stock Git distribution I'm offering up two basic manual pages: git-citool and git-gui. These should offer enough of a starting point for users to identify that the gui exists, and how to start it. Future releases of git-gui may contain their own documentation system available from within a running git-gui. But not today. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

git-citool(1)
|
||||
=============
|
||||
|
||||
NAME
|
||||
----
|
||||
git-citool - Graphical alternative to git-commit
|
||||
|
||||
SYNOPSIS
|
||||
--------
|
||||
'git citool'
|
||||
|
||||
DESCRIPTION
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
A Tcl/Tk based graphical interface to review modified files, stage
|
||||
them into the index, enter a commit message and record the new
|
||||
commit onto the current branch. This interface is an alternative
|
||||
to the less interactive gitlink:git-commit[1] program.
|
||||
|
||||
git-citool is actually a standard alias for 'git gui citool'.
|
||||
See gitlink:git-gui[1] for more details.

git-gui(1)
|
||||
==========
|
||||
|
||||
NAME
|
||||
----
|
||||
git-gui - A portable graphical interface to Git
|
||||
|
||||
SYNOPSIS
|
||||
--------
|
||||
'git gui' [<command>] [arguments]
|
||||
|
||||
DESCRIPTION
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
A Tcl/Tk based graphical user interface to Git. git-gui focuses
|
||||
on allowing users to make changes to their repository by making
|
||||
new commits, amending existing ones, creating branches, performing
|
||||
local merges, and fetching/pushing to remote repositories.
|
||||
|
||||
Unlike gitlink:gitk[1], git-gui focuses on commit generation
|
||||
and single file annotation, and does not show project history.
|
||||
It does however supply menu actions to start a gitk session from
|
||||
within git-gui.
|
||||
|
||||
git-gui is known to work on all popular UNIX systems, Mac OS X,
|
||||
and Windows (under both Cygwin and MSYS). To the extent possible
|
||||
OS specific user interface guidelines are followed, making git-gui
|
||||
a fairly native interface for users.
|
||||
|
||||
COMMANDS
|
||||
--------
|
||||
blame::
|
||||
Start a blame viewer on the specified file on the given
|
||||
version (or working directory if not specified).
|
||||
|
||||
browser::
|
||||
Start a tree browser showing all files in the specified
|
||||
commit (or 'HEAD' by default). Files selected through the
|
||||
browser are opened in the blame viewer.
|
||||
|
||||
citool::
|
||||
Start git-gui and arrange to make exactly one commit before
|
||||
exiting and returning to the shell. The interface is limited
|
||||
to only commit actions, slightly reducing the application's
|
||||
startup time and simplifying the menubar.
|
||||
|
||||
version::
|
||||
Display the currently running version of git-gui.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Examples
|
||||
--------
|
||||
git gui blame Makefile::
|
||||
|
||||
Show the contents of the file 'Makefile' in the current
|
||||
working directory, and provide annotations for both the
|
||||
original author of each line, and who moved the line to its
|
||||
current location. The uncommitted file is annotated, and
|
||||
uncommitted changes (if any) are explicitly attributed to
|
||||
'Not Yet Committed'.
|
||||
|
||||
git gui blame v0.99.8 Makefile::
|
||||
|
||||
Show the contents of 'Makefile' in revision 'v0.99.8'
|
||||
and provide annotations for each line. Unlike the above
|
||||
example the file is read from the object database and not
|
||||
the working directory.
|
||||
|
||||
git gui citool::
|
||||
|
||||
Make one commit and return to the shell when it is complete.
|
||||
|
||||
git citool::
|
||||
|
||||
Same as 'git gui citool' (above).
|
||||
|
||||
git gui browser maint::
|
||||
|
||||
Show a browser for the tree of the 'maint' branch. Files
|
||||
selected in the browser can be viewed with the internal
|
||||
blame viewer.
|
||||
|
||||
See Also
|
||||
--------
|
||||
'gitk(1)'::
|
||||
The git repository browser. Shows branches, commit history
|
||||
and file differences. gitk is the utility started by
|
||||
git-gui's Repository Visualize actions.
|
||||
|
||||
Other
|
||||
-----
|
||||
git-gui is actually maintained as an independent project, but stable
|
||||
versions are distributed as part of the Git suite for the convience
|
||||
of end users.
|
||||
|
||||
A git-gui development repository can be obtained from:
|
||||
|
||||
git clone git://repo.or.cz/git-gui.git
|
||||
|
||||
or
|
||||
|
||||
git clone http://repo.or.cz/r/git-gui.git
|
||||
|
||||
or browsed online at http://repo.or.cz/w/git-gui.git/[].
