gitg - Git repository viewer

gitg [OPTION]... [REPOSITORY]...

gitg is a graphical user interface for git. It aims at being a small, fast and convenient tool to visualize the history of git repositories. Besides visualization, gitg also provides several utilities to manage your repository and commit your work.

Help Options:

Show all help options
Show GTK+ Options

Application Options:

Show the application?s version
Start gitg with a particular activity
Start gitg with the commit activity (shorthand for --activity commit)
Do not try to load a repository from the current working directory
Run gitg in standalone mode
X display to use
Select all commits by default in the history activity
Select all branches by default in the history activity
Select all remotes by default in the history activity
Select all tags by default in the history activity
Select the specified reference by default in the history activity

gitg will try to load any REPOSITORY passed as command line argument (multiple paths can be passed).

If no repository is specified, gitg will try to open the repository specified by the GIT_DIR environment variable; if GIT_DIR is not set gitg will try to open the repository at the current working directory.

GIT_DIR

If the GIT_DIR environment variable is set, and no repositories have been passed as command line arguments, then it specifies a path to use instead of the default .git for the base of the repository.
