GIT-GUI(1) Git Manual GIT-GUI(1)
git-gui - A portable graphical interface to Git
git gui [<command>] [<arguments>]
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The official repository of the git gui project can be found at:

Part of the git(1) suite
This page is part of the git (Git distributed version control
system) project. Information about the project can be found at
