git-gui(1) Manual Page

Start a blame viewer on the specified file on the given version (or working directory if not specified).

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.

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.

Display the currently running version of git gui.

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.

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.

Loads annotations as described above and automatically scrolls the view to center on line 100.

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.

Automatically enter the Amend Last Commit mode of the interface.

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)

Same as git gui citool (above).

Show a browser for the tree of the maint branch. Files selected in the browser can be viewed with the internal blame viewer.

The git repository browser. Shows branches, commit history and file differences. gitk is the utility started by git gui's Repository Visualize actions.
