| 2 | ======================== | |

| 4 | ||
| 5 | Introduction | |
| 6 | ------------ | |
| 7 | ||
| 8 | Apart from git contrib/ area there are some others third-party tools | |
| 9 | you may want to look. | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | This document presents a brief summary of each tool and the corresponding | |
| 12 | link. | |

16 | ----------------------------------- |
| 17 | ||
| 18 | - *Cogito* (http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/cogito/) | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | Cogito is a version control system layered on top of the git tree history | |
| 21 | storage system. It aims at seamless user interface and ease of use, | |
| 22 | providing generally smoother user experience than the "raw" Core GIT | |
| 23 | itself and indeed many other version control systems. | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | ||
| 26 | - *pg* (http://www.spearce.org/category/projects/scm/pg/) | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | pg is a shell script wrapper around GIT to help the user manage a set of | |
| 29 | patches to files. pg is somewhat like quilt or StGIT, but it does have a | |
| 30 | slightly different feature set. | |
| 31 | ||
| 32 | ||
| 33 | - *StGit* (http://www.procode.org/stgit/) | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | Stacked GIT provides a quilt-like patch management functionality in the | |
| 36 | GIT environment. You can easily manage your patches in the scope of GIT | |
| 37 | until they get merged upstream. | |
| 38 | ||
| 39 | ||
| 40 | History Viewers | |
| 41 | --------------- | |
| 42 | ||
| 43 | - *gitk* (shipped with git-core) | |
| 44 | ||
| addf88e4 | 45 | gitk is a simple Tk GUI for browsing history of GIT repositories easily. |

46 | |
| 47 | ||
| 48 | - *gitview* (contrib/) | |
| 49 | ||
| 50 | gitview is a GTK based repository browser for git | |
| 51 | ||
| 52 | ||
| 53 | - *gitweb* (ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/gitweb/) | |
| 54 | ||
| 55 | GITweb provides full-fledged web interface for GIT repositories. | |
| 56 | ||
| 57 | ||
| 58 | - *qgit* (http://digilander.libero.it/mcostalba/) | |
| 59 | ||
| 60 | QGit is a git/StGIT GUI viewer built on Qt/C++. QGit could be used | |
| 61 | to browse history and directory tree, view annotated files, commit | |
| 62 | changes cherry picking single files or applying patches. | |
| 63 | Currently it is the fastest and most feature rich among the git | |
| 64 | viewers and commit tools. | |
| 65 | ||
| 66 | ||
| 67 | ||
| 68 | Foreign SCM interface | |
| 69 | --------------------- | |
| 70 | ||
| 71 | - *git-svn* (contrib/) | |
| 72 | ||
| 73 | git-svn is a simple conduit for changesets between a single Subversion | |
| 74 | branch and git. | |
| 75 | ||
| 76 | ||
| 77 | - *quilt2git / git2quilt* (http://home-tj.org/wiki/index.php/Misc) | |
| 78 | ||
| 79 | These utilities convert patch series in a quilt repository and commit | |
| 80 | series in git back and forth. | |
| 81 | ||
| 82 | ||
| 83 | Others | |
| 84 | ------ | |
| 85 | ||
| 86 | - *(h)gct* (http://www.cyd.liu.se/users/~freku045/gct/) | |
| 87 | ||
| 88 | Commit Tool or (h)gct is a GUI enabled commit tool for git and | |
| 89 | Mercurial (hg). It allows the user to view diffs, select which files | |
| 90 | to committed (or ignored / reverted) write commit messages and | |
| 91 | perform the commit itself. | |
| 92 | ||
| 93 | - *git.el* (contrib/) | |
| 94 | ||
| 95 | This is an Emacs interface for git. The user interface is modeled on | |
| 96 | pcl-cvs. It has been developed on Emacs 21 and will probably need some | |
| 97 | tweaking to work on XEmacs. |
