git-gui(1)


NAME

   git-gui - A portable graphical interface to Git

SYNOPSIS

   git gui [<command>] [arguments]

DESCRIPTION

   A Tcl/Tk based graphical user interface to Git. git gui focuses 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.

   Unlike gitk, git gui focuses on commit generation and single file
   annotation and does not show project history. It does however supply
   menu actions to start a gitk session from within git gui.

   git gui is known to work on all popular UNIX systems, Mac OS X, and
   Windows (under both Cygwin and MSYS). To the extent possible OS
   specific user interface guidelines are followed, making git gui 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 commit (or
       HEAD by default). Files selected through the browser are opened in
       the blame viewer.

   citool
       Start git gui and arrange to make exactly one commit before 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
       Display the currently running version of git gui.

EXAMPLES

   git gui blame Makefile
       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.

   git gui blame v0.99.8 Makefile
       Show the contents of Makefile in revision v0.99.8 and provide
       annotations for each line. Unlike the above example the file is
       read from the object database and not the working directory.

   git gui blame --line=100 Makefile
       Loads annotations as described above and automatically scrolls the
       view to center on line 100.

   git gui citool
       Make one commit and return to the shell when it is complete. This
       command returns a non-zero exit code if the window was closed in
       any way other than by making a commit.

   git gui citool --amend
       Automatically enter the Amend Last Commit mode of the interface.

   git gui citool --nocommit
       Behave as normal citool, but instead of making a commit 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 git-mergetool(1)

   git citool
       Same as git gui citool (above).

   git gui browser maint
       Show a browser for the tree of the maint branch. Files selected in
       the browser can be viewed with the internal blame viewer.

SEE ALSO

   gitk(1)
       The Git repository browser. Shows branches, commit history and file
       differences. gitk is the utility started by git gui's Repository
       Visualize actions.

OTHER

   git gui is actually maintained as an independent project, but stable
   versions are distributed as part of the Git suite for the convenience
   of end users.

   A git gui development repository can be obtained from:

       git clone git://repo.or.cz/git-gui.git

   or

       git clone http://repo.or.cz/r/git-gui.git

   or browsed online at http://repo.or.cz/w/git-gui.git/.

Business Opportunity - Goldman Sachs, IBM and countless large corporations are leveraging open source to reduce costs, develop products and increase their bottom lines. Learn what these companies know about open source and how open source can give you the advantage.



Free Software


Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.

Free Office Software - The Libre Office suite provides top desktop productivity tools for free. This includes, a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation engine, drawing and flowcharting, database and math applications. Libre Office is available for Linux or Windows.



Free Books


The Free Books Library is a collection of thousands of the most popular public domain books in an online readable format. The collection includes great classical literature and more recent works where the U.S. copyright has expired. These books are yours to read and use without restrictions.

Source Code - Want to change a program or know how it works? Open Source provides the source code for its programs so that anyone can use, modify or learn how to write those programs themselves. Visit the GNU source code repositories to download the source.



Education


Study at Harvard, Stanford or MIT - Open edX provides free online courses from Harvard, MIT, Columbia, UC Berkeley and other top Universities. Hundreds of courses for almost all major subjects and course levels. Open edx also offers some paid courses and selected certifications.

Linux Manual Pages - A man or manual page is a form of software documentation found on Linux/Unix operating systems. Topics covered include computer programs (including library and system calls), formal standards and conventions, and even abstract concepts.
