ungit is a web-based Git client.
ungit brings user friendliness to git without sacrificing the versatility of git.
The software is free and open source software.
It needs node.js (≥ 10.18.0), npm (≥ 6.13.4, comes with node.js) and git (≥ 1.8.x).
Key Features
- Clean and intuitive user interface that makes it easy to understand git.
- Runs on any platform that node.js and git supports.
- Auto refresh – the software will watch git directory recursively upon page view and automatically refresh contents on git operations or changes on files that are not configured to be ignored in .gitignore.
- Web-based, meaning you can run it on your cloud/pure shell machine and use the user interface from your web browser.
- Use an external merge tool like Kaleidoscope or p4merge.
- Text editor integrations.
The software doesn’t support GPG authentication, although there’s support for PGP signing. Password-less GPG authentication or 3rd party GPG password must be configured when using Ungit to commit with GPG.
