It aims at seamless user interface and ease of use,\n- providing generally smoother user experience than the \"raw\" Core GIT\n- itself and indeed many other version control systems.\n-\n- Cogito is no longer maintained as most of its functionality\n- is now in core GIT.\n-\n-\n- - *pg* (http://www.spearce.org/category/projects/scm/pg/)\n-\n- pg is a shell script wrapper around GIT to help the user manage a set of\n- patches to files. pg is somewhat like quilt or StGIT, but it does have a\n- slightly different feature set.\n-\n-\n- - *StGit* (http://www.procode.org/stgit/)\n-\n- Stacked GIT provides a quilt-like patch management functionality in the\n- GIT environment. You can easily manage your patches in the scope of GIT\n- until they get merged upstream.\n-\n-\n-History Viewers\n----------------\n-\n- - *gitk* (shipped with git-core)\n-\n- gitk is a simple Tk GUI for browsing history of GIT repositories easily.\n-\n-\n- - *gitview* (contrib/)\n-\n- gitview is a GTK based repository browser for git\n-\n-\n- - *gitweb* (shipped with git-core)\n-\n- GITweb provides full-fledged web interface for GIT repositories.\n-\n-\n- - *qgit* (http://digilander.libero.it/mcostalba/)\n-\n- QGit is a git/StGIT GUI viewer built on Qt/C++. QGit could be used\n- to browse history and directory tree, view annotated files, commit\n- changes cherry picking single files or applying patches.\n- Currently it is the fastest and most feature rich among the git\n- viewers and commit tools.\n-\n- - *tig* (http://jonas.nitro.dk/tig/)\n-\n- tig by Jonas Fonseca is a simple git repository browser\n- written using ncurses. Basically, it just acts as a front-end\n- for git-log and git-show/git-diff. Additionally, you can also\n- use it as a pager for git commands.\n-\n-\n-Foreign SCM interface\n----------------------\n-\n- - *git-svn* (shipped with git-core)\n-\n- git-svn is a simple conduit for changesets between a single Subversion\n- branch and git.\n-\n-\n- - *quilt2git / git2quilt* (http://home-tj.org/wiki/index.php/Misc)\n-\n- These utilities convert patch series in a quilt repository and commit\n- series in git back and forth.\n-\n-\n- - *hg-to-git* (contrib/)\n-\n- hg-to-git converts a Mercurial repository into a git one, and\n- preserves the full branch history in the process. hg-to-git can\n- also be used in an incremental way to keep the git repository\n- in sync with the master Mercurial repository.\n-\n-\n-Others\n-------\n-\n- - *(h)gct* (http://www.cyd.liu.se/users/~freku045/gct/)\n-\n- Commit Tool or (h)gct is a GUI enabled commit tool for git and\n- Mercurial (hg). It allows the user to view diffs, select which files\n- to committed (or ignored / reverted) write commit messages and\n- perform the commit itself.\n-\n- - *git.el* (contrib/)\n-\n- This is an Emacs interface for git. The user interface is modeled on\n- pcl-cvs. It has been developed on Emacs 21 and will probably need some\n- tweaking to work on XEmacs.\n-\n-\n-http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/InterfacesFrontendsAndTools has more\n-comprehensive list.\ndiff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile\nindex 62d526a..77bf57f 100644\n--- a/Makefile\n+++ b/Makefile\n@@ -2359,7 +2359,6 @@ check-docs::\n \t\tdocumented,gitignore | \\\n \t\tdocumented,gitmodules | \\\n \t\tdocumented,gitcli | \\\n-\t\tdocumented,git-tools | \\\n \t\tdocumented,gitcore-tutorial | \\\n \t\tdocumented,gitcvs-migration | \\\n \t\tdocumented,gitdiffcore | \\\n-- \n1.7.2.2.398.g5af70\n"},{"id":"149500","messageId":"20100831212324.GG5911@burratino","threadId":"24924","inReplyTo":"ef9f5918c0c5254460c7ca51bd9c130ece23f4ab.1283283511.git.git@drmicha.warpmail.net","subject":"Re: [RFD PATCH] Documentation: remove git-tools","fromName":"Jonathan Nieder","fromEmail":"jrnieder@gmail.com","sentAt":"2010-08-31T21:23:24Z","receivedAt":"2010-08-31T21:23:24Z","isPatch":true,"sender":{"key":"jrnieder@gmail.com","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/281595?v=4"},"body":"Michael J Gruber wrote:\n\n> git-tools.txt is outdated\n\nYeah.
