gitg is a GNOME application for browsing Git repositories and carrying out common version control tasks. It deliberately concentrates on operations that benefit from a graphical presentation rather than trying to expose every Git command.
Its history view makes it easy to move through branches and commits, inspect changes and search repository history. A separate commit view handles the working tree and index, including granular staging before creating commits.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Browses repository history with a graphical representation of branches and commits.
- Displays syntax-highlighted diffs for individual revisions.
- Searches history by commit subject, author and object identifier.
- Browses the file tree of any revision and exports files by drag and drop.
- Stages and unstages individual hunks before creating commits.
- Supports cherry-picking and graphical merge and rebase workflows.
- Creates format-patch output using drag and drop.
- Provides tag, stash and basic remote management.
