QGit is a Qt-based graphical application for viewing Git history and working with repository revisions. It presents commits, branches and changed files visually and is particularly useful when tracing how a project has evolved.
The project remains deliberately focused compared with large all-purpose Git clients, but it provides several unusual tools for patch-oriented workflows. Custom actions and StGit integration also make it possible to extend the interface for specialised development tasks.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Displays revisions, branches and merges as a graphical history tree.
- Shows changed files and detailed patches for selected revisions.
- Annotates files to identify the commit responsible for individual lines.
- Searches and filters repository history using multiple criteria.
- Creates commits and cherry-picks selected changes through the graphical interface.
- Builds and reorganises patch series using drag and drop.
- Integrates with StGit for stacked patch workflows.
- Supports configurable custom actions and external diff commands.
