The latest version of git cola is available for download from the usual interwebs: http://cola.tuxfamily.org/ http://gitorious.org/projects/git-cola/ git cola is a highly functional git gui licensed under the gpl. It's written in Python/Qt4. In addition to its native platform (Linux/Unix), cola also runs on OSX and Windows. Although tarballs, .rpms and .deb packages are available, building it from source is very easy. On debian it's as simple as: sudo apt-get install simplejson python-qt4 pyqt4-dev-tools python-pyinotify git clone git://gitorious.org/git-cola/mainline.git cola cd cola && ./configure && make && make install Like git gui, it allows you to do very fine-grained commits. It has a bunch of other random useful stuff, so I figured it was about time to announce it here. It has inotify support on Linux, which is why there's no rescan button in cola. Hopefully the code isn't too rotten ;-) CAVEATS: i18n/l10n is incomplete. I used the latest .po files from git-gui, but obviously there are a number of strings in git cola that don't have translations. If there is an interest in cola from the user community then I will need some advice on how to handle this situation. I don't like having stolen the .po's from git-gui (sorry Shawn!) but it did prove that the infrastucture for "LANG=ja git cola" is working correctly. cola works by parsing git commands. It's pretty fast despite the process overhead, though it'll probably be a bit slower on windows. I have no idea what cr/lf issues exist (if any), though I've tried to be careful about it. enjoy, p.s. if you happen to prefer dark color themes you can run: git cola --style=dark -- David ``` ## H.Merijn Brand, 2008-08-01 06:34 Subject: Re: [ANN] git cola: a highly caffeinated git gui Message-ID: <20080801083413.2ac1782b@pc09.procura.nl> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20080801083413.2ac1782b%40pc09.procura.nl In-Reply-To: <402731c90807312308l4870382dsb707fafd37f9b1d4@mail.gmail.com> ``` On Thu, 31 Jul 2008 23:08:01 -0700, "David Aguilar" wrote: > Greetings! > > The latest version of git cola is available for download from the > usual interwebs: > > http://cola.tuxfamily.org/ > http://gitorious.org/projects/git-cola/ Your dependencies don't match. # cola-1.1.1-2.noarch.rpm $ cola Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/cola", line 112, in main() File "/usr/bin/cola", line 53, in main from cola.models import Model File "../../cola/models.py", line 9, in File "../../cola/utils.py", line 9, in File "../../cola/defaults.py", line 4, in ImportError: No module named PyQt4.QtCore -- H.Merijn Brand Amsterdam Perl Mongers http://amsterdam.pm.org/ using & porting perl 5.6.2, 5.8.x, 5.10.x, 5.11.x on HP-UX 10.20, 11.00, 11.11, 11.23, and 11.31, SuSE 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3, AIX 5.2, and Cygwin. http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/ http://www.test-smoke.org/ http://qa.perl.org http://www.goldmark.org/jeff/stupid-disclaimers/ ``` ## David Aguilar, 2008-08-01 06:52 Subject: Re: [ANN] git cola: a highly caffeinated git gui Message-ID: <402731c90807312352raa55138y858fbb8650919265@mail.gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/402731c90807312352raa55138y858fbb8650919265%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <20080801083413.2ac1782b@pc09.procura.nl> ``` On Thu, Jul 31, 2008 at 11:34 PM, H.Merijn Brand wrote: > On Thu, 31 Jul 2008 23:08:01 -0700, "David Aguilar" > wrote: > >> Greetings! >> >> The latest version of git cola is available for download from the >> usual interwebs: >> >> http://cola.tuxfamily.org/ >> http://gitorious.org/projects/git-cola/ > > Your dependencies don't match. > > # cola-1.1.1-2.noarch.rpm sorry, I used alien to convert my .debs into an rpm. scripts/mkdeb.sh. yum installing pyqt4 should fix it. > ImportError: No module named PyQt4.QtCore > > -- > H.Merijn Brand Amsterdam Perl Mongers http://amsterdam.pm.org/ > using & porting perl 5.6.2, 5.8.x, 5.10.x, 5.11.x on HP-UX 10.20, 11.00, > 11.11, 11.23, and 11.31, SuSE 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3, AIX 5.2, and Cygwin. > http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/ http://www.test-smoke.org/ > http://qa.perl.org http://www.goldmark.org/jeff/stupid-disclaimers/ > -- David ```
