Documentation/git-tools: retire manually-maintained list
When Git was young, people looking for third-party Git-related tools came to the Git project itself to find them, so it made sense to maintain a list of tools here. These days, however, search engines fill that role much more efficiently, so retire the manually-maintained list. The list of front-ends and tools on the Git wiki rates perhaps a distant second to search engines, and may still have value, so retain a reference to it.

A short Git tools survey

Git Tools
|
||||
=========
|
||||
|
||||
When Git was young, people looking for third-party Git-related tools came
|
||||
to the Git project itself to find them, thus a list of such tools was
|
||||
maintained here. These days, however, search engines fill that role much
|
||||
more efficiently, so this manually-maintained list has been retired.
|
||||
|
||||
Introduction
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
Apart from Git contrib/ area there are some others third-party tools
|
||||
you may want to look at.
|
||||
This document presents a brief summary of each tool and the corresponding
|
||||
link.
|
||||
For a more comprehensive list, see:
|
||||
See also the `contrib/` area, and the Git wiki:

|
||||
Alternative/Augmentative Porcelains
|
||||
-----------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- *StGit* (http://www.procode.org/stgit/)
|
||||
+
|
||||
Stacked Git provides a quilt-like patch management functionality in the
|
||||
Git environment. You can easily manage your patches in the scope of Git
|
||||
until they get merged upstream.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
History Viewers
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
- *gitk* (shipped with git-core)
|
||||
+
|
||||
gitk is a simple Tk GUI for browsing history of Git repositories easily.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
- *gitview* (contrib/)
|
||||
+
|
||||
gitview is a GTK based repository browser for Git
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
- *gitweb* (shipped with git-core)
|
||||
+
|
||||
Gitweb provides full-fledged web interface for Git repositories.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
- *qgit* (http://digilander.libero.it/mcostalba/)
|
||||
+
|
||||
QGit is a git/StGit GUI viewer built on Qt/C++. QGit could be used
|
||||
to browse history and directory tree, view annotated files, commit
|
||||
changes cherry picking single files or applying patches.
|
||||
Currently it is the fastest and most feature rich among the Git
|
||||
viewers and commit tools.
|
||||
|
||||
- *tig* (http://jonas.nitro.dk/tig/)
|
||||
+
|
||||
tig by Jonas Fonseca is a simple Git repository browser
|
||||
written using ncurses. Basically, it just acts as a front-end
|
||||
for git-log and git-show/git-diff. Additionally, you can also
|
||||
use it as a pager for Git commands.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Foreign SCM interface
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
- *git-svn* (shipped with git-core)
|
||||
+
|
||||
git-svn is a simple conduit for changesets between a single Subversion
|
||||
branch and Git.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
- *hg-to-git* (contrib/)
|
||||
+
|
||||
hg-to-git converts a Mercurial repository into a Git one, and
|
||||
preserves the full branch history in the process. hg-to-git can
|
||||
also be used in an incremental way to keep the Git repository
|
||||
in sync with the master Mercurial repository.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Others
|
||||
------
|
||||
|
||||
- *git.el* (contrib/)
|
||||
+
|
||||
This is an Emacs interface for Git. The user interface is modelled on
|
||||
pcl-cvs. It has been developed on Emacs 21 and will probably need some
|
||||
tweaking to work on XEmacs.
