SmartGit — The Easy-to-Use Git-Client
SmartGit is a graphical front-end for the distributed version control system Git and runs on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
SmartGit helps Git beginners getting started quickly and makes advanced users more productive with its efficient user interface to Git — the most powerful DVCS today.
What SmartGit is?
SmartGit is an efficient user interface for Git, focussing on simplicity and targeting non-experts and people who prefer a graphical application over command line usage.
The current version of SmartGit supports those Git features which are required for the every-day work in software development projects, most notably:
- Virtually all local working tree operations
- Status, diff, log
- Push, pull, fetch (for all protocols)
- Tag and branch management
- Merge, cherry-pick, rebase
- Stash management
- Submodule support
- Basic Git-SVN support (to use SmartGit as SVN client)
What it is not?
SmartGit does not aim to be a 1:1 translation of command line Git. Anyway, the lack of certain features is not by intention but simply because they have not yet been implemented. Most notably:
- Blame (annotated file view)
- Interactive rebase
- Pickaxe (find changes by search for text)
- Revert (to undo a commit)
