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 (or HEAD by default). 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.

       A git gui development repository can be obtained from:

	   git clone git://repo.or.cz/git-gui.git

       or

	   git clone http://repo.or.cz/r/git-gui.git

       or browsed online at http://repo.or.cz/w/git-gui.git/.

NAME

       git-cola - A highly caffeinated git GUI

SYNOPSIS

       git cola [options]

DESCRIPTION

       git-cola is a powerful git GUI written in Python. It has many unique features that make git's advanced features simple and accessible.

       See below for a full list of options and usage information.

OPTIONS

       --classic
	   Launch the standalone cola classic tool.

       -g, --git-path
	   Specifies the path to the git binary.

       --prompt
	   Prompt for a git repository instead of auto-detecting it in the current directory.

       -r, --repo=<path>
	   Run git-cola on the git repository in <path>. Defaults to the current directory.

       -s, --style=<style>
	   Launch git-cola with a different stylesheet.

       -v, --version
	   Print the git-cola version and exit.

GUI STYLES

       git-cola ships with an alternate "dark" stylesheet. Specify --style=dark or provide an external stylesheet with --style=PATH.

CONFIG VARIABLES

       cola.savewindowsettings
	   Whether git-cola should remember its window settings.

       cola.fontdiff
	   Specifies the font to use for git-cola's diff display.

       cola.classicdockable
	   Whether to create a dock widget with the Cola Classic tool. Defaults to false to speedup startup time.

       gui.diffcontext
	   The number of diff context lines used and displayed by git-cola

       gui.editor
	   The default text editor is controlled by gui.editor. The config variable overrides the EDITOR environment variable.

       gui.historybrowser
	   Specifies the history browser to use when visualizing history.

       diff.tool
	   The default diff tool to use.

       merge.tool
	   The default merge tool to use.

       user.email
	   Your email address to be recorded in any newly created commits. Can be overridden by the GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL, GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL, and
	   EMAIL environment variables. See linkgit:git-commit-tree[1].

       user.name
	   Your full name to be recorded in any newly created commits. Can be overridden by the GIT_AUTHOR_NAME and GIT_COMMITTER_NAME environment
	   variables. See linkgit:git-commit-tree[1].
       See linkgit:git-config[1] for more details.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       EDITOR
	   Specifies the default editor to use. This is ignored when the git config variable gui.editor is defined.

       GIT_PYTHON_TRACE
	   When defined, prints git commands and status to the terminal. Print more information when set to the value full.

       GIT_COLA_TRACE
	   When defined, git-cola outputs the git commands it executes into the Command Output log viewer.

SOURCE

       A git-cola development repository can be obtained via git:

	   git clone git://github.com/davvid/git-cola.git

GUI THEMES

       git-cola ships with an alternative stylesheet called dark. You can use this stylesheet by running git cola --style=dark.

       You can also skin git-cola by providing your own Qt stylesheet. E.g. git cola --style=/path/to/style.qss.

       Built-in styles can be found in /usr/share/git-cola/styles.
