Following what appears to be the predominant style, format
names of commands and commandlines both as `teletype text`.
While we're at it, add articles ("a" and "the") in some
places, italicize the name of the command in the manual page
synopsis line, and add a comma or two where it seems appropriate.

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 `gitk`, `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
|
|
--------
|
|
linkgit: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 convenience
|
|
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/[].
