A short git tools survey
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
|
|
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Cogito is no longer maintained as most of its functionality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 modeled on
|
|
pcl-cvs. It has been developed on Emacs 21 and will probably need some
|
|
tweaking to work on XEmacs.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
comprehensive list.
