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. 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.
