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 |
||||
------------ |
||||
|
||||
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. |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Alternative/Augmentative Porcelains |
||||
----------------------------------- |
||||
|
||||
- *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Cogito is no longer maintained as most of its functionality |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. |
