| A short Git tools survey |
| ======================== |
| |
| |
| 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. |

| |
| 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. |
