DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
-----------
|
2010-01-10 02:33:00 +03:00
|
|
|
A Tcl/Tk based graphical user interface to Git. 'git gui' focuses
|
2007-06-21 08:51:00 +04:00
|
|
|
on allowing users to make changes to their repository by making
|
|
|
|
|
new commits, amending existing ones, creating branches, performing
|
|
|
|
|
local merges, and fetching/pushing to remote repositories.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-01-10 02:33:00 +03:00
|
|
|
Unlike 'gitk', 'git gui' focuses on commit generation
|
2008-06-30 22:56:34 +04:00
|
|
|
and single file annotation and does not show project history.
|
2008-07-03 09:49:55 +04:00
|
|
|
It does however supply menu actions to start a 'gitk' session from
|
2010-01-10 02:33:00 +03:00
|
|
|
within 'git gui'.
|
2007-06-21 08:51:00 +04:00
|
|
|
|
2010-01-10 02:33:00 +03:00
|
|
|
'git gui' is known to work on all popular UNIX systems, Mac OS X,
|
2007-06-21 08:51:00 +04:00
|
|
|
and Windows (under both Cygwin and MSYS). To the extent possible
|
2010-01-10 02:33:00 +03:00
|
|
|
OS specific user interface guidelines are followed, making 'git gui'
|
2007-06-21 08:51:00 +04:00
|
|
|
a fairly native interface for users.

COMMANDS
|
|
|
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
|
blame::
|
|
|
|
|
Start a blame viewer on the specified file on the given
|
|
|
|
|
version (or working directory if not specified).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
browser::
|
|
|
|
|
Start a tree browser showing all files in the specified
|
2008-07-03 09:03:54 +04:00
|
|
|
commit (or 'HEAD' by default). Files selected through the
|
2007-06-21 08:51:00 +04:00
|
|
|
browser are opened in the blame viewer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
citool::
|
2010-01-10 02:33:00 +03:00
|
|
|
Start 'git gui' and arrange to make exactly one commit before
|
2007-06-21 08:51:00 +04:00
|
|
|
exiting and returning to the shell. The interface is limited
|
|
|
|
|
to only commit actions, slightly reducing the application's
|
|
|
|
|
startup time and simplifying the menubar.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
version::
|
2010-01-10 02:33:00 +03:00
|
|
|
Display the currently running version of 'git gui'.
|

Examples
|
|
|
|
|
--------
|
docs: put listed example commands in backticks
Many examples of git command invocation are given in asciidoc listing
blocks, which makes them monospaced and avoids further interpretation of
special characters. Some manpages make a list of examples, like:
git foo::
Run git foo.
git foo -q::
Use the "-q" option.
to quickly show many variants. However, they can sometimes be hard to
read, because they are shown in a proportional-width font (so, for
example, seeing the difference between "-- foo" and "--foo" can be
difficult).
This patch puts all such examples into backticks, which gives the
equivalent formatting to a listing block (i.e., monospaced and without
character interpretation).
As a bonus, this also fixes an example in the git-push manpage, in which
"git push origin :::" was accidentally considered a newly-indented list,
and not a list item with "git push origin :" in it.

`git gui blame Makefile`::
|
2007-06-21 08:51:00 +04:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Show the contents of the file 'Makefile' in the current
|
|
|
|
|
working directory, and provide annotations for both the
|
|
|
|
|
original author of each line, and who moved the line to its
|
|
|
|
|
current location. The uncommitted file is annotated, and
|
|
|
|
|
uncommitted changes (if any) are explicitly attributed to
|
|
|
|
|
'Not Yet Committed'.

simply terminate with a zero exit code. It still checks

that the index does not contain any unmerged entries, so

you can use it as a GUI version of linkgit:git-mergetool[1]
