| 1 | +Git Tools |
| 2 | +========= |
3 | 3 |
|
| 4 | +When Git was young, people looking for third-party Git-related tools came |
| 5 | +to the Git project itself to find them, thus a list of such tools was |
| 6 | +maintained here. These days, however, search engines fill that role much |
| 7 | +more efficiently, so this manually-maintained list has been retired. |

5 | | -Introduction |
6 | | ------------- |
7 | | - |
8 | | -Apart from Git contrib/ area there are some others third-party tools |
9 | | -you may want to look. |
10 | | - |
11 | | -This document presents a brief summary of each tool and the corresponding |
12 | | -link. |

15 | | -Alternative/Augmentative Porcelains |
16 | | ------------------------------------ |
17 | | - |
18 | | - - *Cogito* (http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/cogito/) |
19 | | - |
20 | | - Cogito is a version control system layered on top of the Git tree history |
21 | | - storage system. It aims at seamless user interface and ease of use, |
22 | | - providing generally smoother user experience than the "raw" Core Git |
23 | | - itself and indeed many other version control systems. |
24 | | - |
25 | | - Cogito is no longer maintained as most of its functionality |
26 | | - is now in core Git. |
27 | | - |
28 | | - |
29 | | - - *pg* (http://www.spearce.org/category/projects/scm/pg/) |
30 | | - |
31 | | - pg is a shell script wrapper around Git to help the user manage a set of |
32 | | - patches to files. pg is somewhat like quilt or StGit, but it does have a |
33 | | - slightly different feature set. |
34 | | - |
35 | | - |
36 | | - - *StGit* (http://www.procode.org/stgit/) |
37 | | - |
38 | | - Stacked Git provides a quilt-like patch management functionality in the |
39 | | - Git environment. You can easily manage your patches in the scope of Git |
40 | | - until they get merged upstream. |
41 | | - |
42 | | - |
43 | | -History Viewers |
44 | | ---------------- |
45 | | - |
46 | | - - *gitk* (shipped with git-core) |
47 | | - |
48 | | - gitk is a simple Tk GUI for browsing history of Git repositories easily. |
49 | | - |
50 | | - |
51 | | - - *gitview* (contrib/) |
52 | | - |
53 | | - gitview is a GTK based repository browser for Git |
54 | | - |
55 | | - |
56 | | - - *gitweb* (shipped with git-core) |
57 | | - |
58 | | - Gitweb provides full-fledged web interface for Git repositories. |
59 | | - |
60 | | - |
61 | | - - *qgit* (http://digilander.libero.it/mcostalba/) |
62 | | - |
63 | | - QGit is a git/StGit GUI viewer built on Qt/C++. QGit could be used |
64 | | - to browse history and directory tree, view annotated files, commit |
65 | | - changes cherry picking single files or applying patches. |
66 | | - Currently it is the fastest and most feature rich among the Git |
67 | | - viewers and commit tools. |
68 | | - |
69 | | - - *tig* (http://jonas.nitro.dk/tig/) |
70 | | - |
71 | | - tig by Jonas Fonseca is a simple Git repository browser |
72 | | - written using ncurses. Basically, it just acts as a front-end |
73 | | - for git-log and git-show/git-diff. Additionally, you can also |
74 | | - use it as a pager for Git commands. |
75 | | - |
76 | | - |
77 | | -Foreign SCM interface |
78 | | ---------------------- |
79 | | - |
80 | | - - *git-svn* (shipped with git-core) |
81 | | - |
82 | | - git-svn is a simple conduit for changesets between a single Subversion |
83 | | - branch and Git. |
84 | | - |
85 | | - |
86 | | - - *quilt2git / git2quilt* (http://home-tj.org/wiki/index.php/Misc) |
87 | | - |
88 | | - These utilities convert patch series in a quilt repository and commit |
89 | | - series in Git back and forth. |
90 | | - |
91 | | - |
92 | | - - *hg-to-git* (contrib/) |
93 | | - |
94 | | - hg-to-git converts a Mercurial repository into a Git one, and |
95 | | - preserves the full branch history in the process. hg-to-git can |
96 | | - also be used in an incremental way to keep the Git repository |
97 | | - in sync with the master Mercurial repository. |
98 | | - |

100 | | -Others |
101 | | ------- |

104 | | - |
105 | | - Commit Tool or (h)gct is a GUI enabled commit tool for Git and |
106 | | - Mercurial (hg). It allows the user to view diffs, select which files |

108 | | - perform the commit itself. |
109 | | - |
110 | | - - *git.el* (contrib/) |
111 | | - |
112 | | - This is an Emacs interface for Git. The user interface is modelled on |
113 | | - pcl-cvs. It has been developed on Emacs 21 and will probably need some |
114 | | - tweaking to work on XEmacs. |
115 | | - |

118 | | -comprehensive list. |
