git-gui(1) |
|
========== |
|
|
|
NAME |
|
---- |
|
git-gui - A portable graphical interface to Git |
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS |
|
-------- |
|
[verse] |
|
'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 blame --line=100 Makefile`:: |
|
|
|
Loads annotations as described above and automatically |
|
scrolls the view to center on line '100'. |
|
|
|
`git gui citool`:: |
|
|
|
Make one commit and return to the shell when it is complete. |
|
This command returns a non-zero exit code if the window was |
|
closed in any way other than by making a commit. |
|
|
|
`git gui citool --amend`:: |
|
|
|
Automatically enter the 'Amend Last Commit' mode of |
|
the interface. |
|
|
|
`git gui citool --nocommit`:: |
|
|
|
Behave as normal citool, but instead of making a commit |
|
simply terminate with a zero exit code. It still checks |
|
that the index does not contain any unmerged entries, so |
|
you can use it as a GUI version of linkgit:git-mergetool[1] |
|
|
|
`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/[]. |
