gitg

What is gitg?

gitg is a graphical user interface (GUI) client designed to view and navigate Git repositories, with a focus on providing a unified user experience across multiple desktop environments. Developed for the GNOME desktop, this application aims to deliver a more cohesive experience for Git frontend tools, collaborating with similar clients on other operating systems, such as GitX for macOS The primary objective of gitg is to offer a graphical representation of Git data and actions, particularly in the history view, which helps users gain an overview of the repository's structure and evolution. While gitg does not strive to be an advanced tool that exposes every Git feature through a GUI, it seeks to incorporate common actions that may otherwise require multiple command-line steps, such as staging, unstaging, reverting, and committing changes
