gitg Description

A GitX clone for GNOME/GTK+ gitg is a git repository viewer targeting GTK+ and GNOME. One of its main objectives is to provide a more unified user experience for git frontends across multiple desktops. It does this not be writing a cross-platform application, but by close collaboration with similar clients for other operating systems (like GitX for OS X).gitg targets cases where it is useful to provide a graphical representation of git data or actions. The history view is a good example where graphical representation helps to get an overview of the repository. gitg does not aim to be an advanced tool which allows access to every feature of git through a graphical interface, it will however try to incorporate common actions which might require multiple actions on the command line (like staging, unstaging, reverting and committing).Installing gitgTo install the latest version of gitg, make sure to download gitg-0.0.3.tar.bz2from the download site.
