1A short Git tools survey 2======================== 3 4 5Introduction 6------------ 7 8Apart from Git contrib/ area there are some others third-party tools 9you may want to look at. 10This document presents a brief summary of each tool and the corresponding 11link. 12For a more comprehensive list, see: 13http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/InterfacesFrontendsAndTools 14 15 16Alternative/Augmentative Porcelains 17----------------------------------- 18 19- *StGit* (http://www.procode.org/stgit/) 20+ 21Stacked Git provides a quilt-like patch management functionality in the 22Git environment. You can easily manage your patches in the scope of Git 23until they get merged upstream. 24 25 26History Viewers 27--------------- 28 29- *gitk* (shipped with git-core) 30+ 31gitk is a simple Tk GUI for browsing history of Git repositories easily. 32 33 34- *gitview* (contrib/) 35+ 36gitview is a GTK based repository browser for Git 37 38 39- *gitweb* (shipped with git-core) 40+ 41Gitweb provides full-fledged web interface for Git repositories. 42 43 44- *qgit* (http://digilander.libero.it/mcostalba/) 45+ 46QGit is a git/StGit GUI viewer built on Qt/C++. QGit could be used 47to browse history and directory tree, view annotated files, commit 48changes cherry picking single files or applying patches. 49Currently it is the fastest and most feature rich among the Git 50viewers and commit tools. 51 52- *tig* (http://jonas.nitro.dk/tig/) 53+ 54tig by Jonas Fonseca is a simple Git repository browser 55written using ncurses. Basically, it just acts as a front-end 56for git-log and git-show/git-diff. Additionally, you can also 57use it as a pager for Git commands. 58 59 60Foreign SCM interface 61--------------------- 62 63- *git-svn* (shipped with git-core) 64+ 65git-svn is a simple conduit for changesets between a single Subversion 66branch and Git. 67 68 69- *hg-to-git* (contrib/) 70+ 71hg-to-git converts a Mercurial repository into a Git one, and 72preserves the full branch history in the process. hg-to-git can 73also be used in an incremental way to keep the Git repository 74in sync with the master Mercurial repository. 75 76 77Others 78------ 79 80- *git.el* (contrib/) 81+ 82This is an Emacs interface for Git. The user interface is modelled on 83pcl-cvs. It has been developed on Emacs 21 and will probably need some 84tweaking to work on XEmacs.
