gitg

If you are looking for a reliable git repository viewer designed to work with GTK+ and GNOME operating systems, look no further than gitg. Developed with the goal of creating a more streamlined user experience, gitg ensures that git frontends work equally well on different desktops.

To achieve this goal, gitg works closely with other operating systems clients like GitX, rather than writing a cross-platform application. The software is designed to provide a graphical representation of git data and actions, focusing on scenarios where the graphical representation can help users get an overview of the repository.

That said, gitg does not aim to be a tool that provides access to every feature of git through a graphical interface. However, it does offer a number of helpful features, incorporating commonly used actions such as staging, unstaging, reverting, and committing.

To get started with gitg, you first need to download gitg-0.0.3.tar.bz2 from the download site. Once you have downloaded the file, the installation process is straightforward. Simply run the following commands:

tar -xjf gitg-0.0.x.tar.bz2
cd gitg-0.0.x
./configure
make
sudo make install

If you experience any issues during the installation process, you can find more information in the INSTALL file.

After installation, you can access gitg through the GNOME menu or by issuing the 'gitg' command in a terminal. If you need to customize your experience, you can use the 'gitg --help' command to learn more about the different options available on the command-line.

Overall, if you are looking for a reliable git repository viewer that is designed to work with GTK+ and GNOME, gitg is an excellent choice. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced user, you will find this software helpful for managing your git repositories.
