Git Large File Storage
Git extension for versioning large files
An open source Git extension for versioning large files. Git Large File Storage (LFS) replaces large files such as audio samples, videos, datasets, and graphics with text pointers inside Git, while storing the file contents on a remote server like GitHub.com or GitHub Enterprise. Download and install the Git command line extension. Once downloaded and installed, set up Git LFS for your user account. In each Git repository where you want to use Git LFS, select the file types you'd like Git LFS to manage (or directly edit your .gitattributes). You can configure additional file extensions at any time. Host more in your Git repositories. External file storage makes it easy to keep your repository at a manageable size. Download less data. This means faster cloning and fetching from repositories that deal with large files. Work like you always do on Git, no need for additional commands, secondary storage systems, or toolsets. -

SFTPGo
Fully featured and highly configurable SFTP server with optional HTTP
Fully featured and highly configurable SFTP server with optional HTTP/S, FTP/S and WebDAV support. Several storage backends are supported: local filesystem, encrypted local filesystem, S3 (compatible) Object Storage, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, SFTP. SFTPGo is an Open Source project and you can of course use it for free but please don't ask for free support as well. Support for serving local filesystem, encrypted local filesystem, S3 Compatible Object Storage, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage or other SFTP accounts over SFTP/SCP/FTP/WebDAV. Virtual folders are supported: a virtual folder can use any of the supported storage backends. So you can have, for example, an S3 user that exposes a GCS bucket (or part of it) on a specified path and an encrypted local filesystem on another one. Virtual folders can be private or shared among multiple users, for shared virtual folders you can define different quota limits for each user. -

Git Credential Manager
Secure, cross-platform Git credential storage with authentication
Git Credential Manager (GCM) is a secure Git credential helper built on .NET that runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It aims to provide a consistent and secure authentication experience, including multi-factor auth, to every major source control hosting service and platform. GCM supports (in alphabetical order) Azure DevOps, Azure DevOps Server (formerly Team Foundation Server), Bitbucket, GitHub, and GitLab. Compare to Git's built-in credential helpers (Windows: wincred, macOS: osxkeychain, Linux: gnome-keyring/libsecret), which provide single-factor authentication support for username/password only. GCM replaces both the .NET Framework-based Git Credential Manager for Windows and the Java-based Git Credential Manager for Mac and Linux. Git Credential Manager is currently available for Windows, macOS, and Linux*. GCM only works with HTTP(S) remotes; you can still use Git with SSH. -

posh-git
A PowerShell environment for Git
posh-git is a PowerShell module which provides Git/PowerShell integration. The prompt within Git repositories can show the current branch and the state of files (additions, modifications, deletions) within. Provides tab completion for common commands when using git. Prompt formatting, among other things, can be customized. Displaying file status in the git prompt for a very large repo can be prohibitively slow. Rather than turn off file status entirely, you can disable it on a repo-by-repo basis by adding individual repository paths. PowerShell generates its prompt by executing a prompt function, if one exists. posh-git defines such a function in profile.example.ps1 that outputs the current working directory followed by an abbreviated git status. -

ripgrep
Regex pattern directory search tool that respects your .gitignore
ripgrep is a line-oriented search tool that actively searches the directory you're currently in for a regex pattern. By default, ripgrep will ignore your .gitignore and skip hidden files or directories and binary files automatically. ripgrep has first class support on Windows, macOS and Linux, with binary downloads available for every release. ripgrep is similar to other popular search tools like The Silver Searcher, ack and grep. ripgrep supports arbitrary input preprocessing filters which could be PDF text extraction, less supported decompression, decrypting, automatic encoding detection and so on. In other words, use ripgrep if you like speed, filtering by default, fewer bugs and Unicode support. -

LazyGit
Simple terminal UI for git commands
You've heard it before, git is powerful, but what good is that power when everything is so damn hard to do? Interactive rebasing requires you to edit a goddamn TODO file in your editor? Are you kidding me? To stage part of a file you need to use a command-line program to step through each hunk and if a hunk can't be split down any further but contains code you don't want to stage, you have to edit an arcane patch file by hand? Are you KIDDING me?! Sometimes you get asked to stash your changes when switching branches only to realize that after you switch and unstash that there weren't even any conflicts and it would have been fine to just check out the branch directly? If you're a mere mortal like me and you're tired of hearing how powerful git is when in your daily life it's a powerful pain in your ass, lazygit might be for you. -

Git Extensions
UI tool for managing git repositories
Git Extensions is a standalone UI tool for managing Git repositories. It also integrates with Windows Explorer and Microsoft Visual Studio (2015/2017/2019). The full commit history can be browsed. Branches are shown using a graph which highlights commits that are included in the current revision. Explore the history of single files. Renamed and moved files are matched and shown in a single history. You do not need to mark files as renamed/moved. The system detects renamed files automatically. Find the last person that edited a specific part of a file. Double click on the line shows the commit and allows you to drill-down to other files. Version 2.x of Git Extensions runs on multiple platforms using Mono. The active community of Git Extensions is supporting Git Extensions since 2008. -

git-flow (AVH Edition)
AVH Edition of the git extensions to provide high-level repository ops
A collection of Git extensions to provide high-level repository operations for Vincent Driessen's branching model. This fork adds functionality not added to the original branch. For those who use the Bash or ZSH shell, you can use my fork of git-flow-completion which includes several additions for git-flow (AVH Edition), or you can use the original git-flow-completion project by bobthecow. Both offer tab-completion for git-flow subcommands and branch names with my fork including tab-completion for the commands not found in the original git-flow. For a wide variety of commands hooks or filters can be called before and after the command. The files should be placed in .git/hooks In the directory hooks you can find examples of all the hooks available. You can easily publish a feature you are working on. The reason can be to allow other programmers to work on it or to access it from another machine. -

GIT quick statistics
An efficient way to access various statistics in git repository
git-quick-stats is a simple and efficient way to access various statistics in a git repository. Any git repository may contain tons of information about commits, contributors, and files. Extracting this information is not always trivial, mostly because there are a gadzillion options to a gadzillion git commands. For those who prefer to utilize command-line options, git-quick-stats also has a non-interactive mode supporting both short and long options. You can change to the legacy color scheme by toggling the variable _MENU_THEME between default and legacy. You can set variable _GIT_LIMIT for limited output. It will affect the "changelogs" and "branch tree" options. You can also exclude files from the stats. Note that it works with any alphanumeric, glob, or regex that git respects. -

git-flow-next
Git extensions to provide high-level repository operations
git-flow-next is a branching model and a set of command-line extensions tailored to enforce that branching model for Git repositories. The underlying workflow was first described in 2010 and is designed around two long-lived branches (master (or main) for production-ready code, and develop for integration) and multiple supporting short-lived branches (feature, release, hotfix) for day-to-day development. With git-flow, each type of branch has explicit purpose and merge rules: features merge back into develop, release branches prepare towards master, and hotfixes branch off master for urgent repairs. The repository you referenced provides the actual shell scripts (and wrappers) implementing sub‐commands like git flow feature start, git flow release finish, etc., making the workflow operational rather than purely conceptual. -

gitbatch
manage your git repositories in one place
Managing multiple git repositories is easier than ever. I (was) often end up working on many directories and manually pulling updates etc. To make this routine faster, I created a simple tool to handle this job. Although the focus is batch jobs, you can still do de facto micro-management of your git repositories (e.g add/reset, stash, commit etc.) run the gitbatch command from the parent of your git repositories. For start-up options simply gitbatch --help. -

Logseq
A privacy-first, open-source platform for knowledge management
Logseq is a privacy-first, open-source knowledge base that works on top of local plain-text Markdown and Org-mode files. Use it to write, organize and share your thoughts, keep your to-do list, and build your own digital garden. Logseq is a platform for knowledge management and collaboration. It focuses on privacy, longevity, and user control. The server will never store or analyze your private notes. Your data are plain text files and we currently support both Markdown and Emacs Org-mode (more to be added soon). In the unlikely event that the website is down or cannot be maintained, your data is, and will always be yours. No data lock-in, no proprietary formats, you can edit the same Markdown/Org-mode file with any tools at the same time. Connect your [[ideas]] and [[thoughts]] with Logseq. Your knowledge graph grows just as your brain generates and connects neurons from new knowledge and ideas. -

ohmyposh.dev
A prompt theme engine for any shell
Oh My Posh enables you to use the full-color set of your terminal by using colors to define and render the prompt. Easily adjust existing themes or create your own. From standard segments all the way to custom implementations. No matter which shell you're using, or even how many, you can carry the configuration from one shell and/or machine to another for the same prompt everywhere you work. What started as the offspring of oh-my-posh2 for PowerShell resulted in a cross platform, highly customizable and extensible prompt theme engine. After 4 years of working on oh-my-posh, a modern and more efficient tool was needed to suit my personal needs. When you look at prompts like Agnoster or Paradox, you notice they usually consist of a few building blocks which contain one or more segments that display some sort of information. The configuration of Oh My Posh works exactly like that. Blocks are a combination of one or more segments. -

Watchtower
A process for automating Docker container base image updates
With watchtower you can update the running version of your containerized app simply by pushing a new image to the Docker Hub or your own image registry. Watchtower will pull down your new image, gracefully shut down your existing container and restart it with the same options that were used when it was deployed initially. Watchtower is an application that will monitor your running Docker containers and watch for changes to the images that those containers were originally started from. If watchtower detects that an image has changed, it will automatically restart the container using the new image. With watchtower you can update the running version of your containerized app simply by pushing a new image to the Docker Hub or your own image registry. Watchtower will pull down your new image, gracefully shut down your existing container and restart it with the same options that were used when it was deployed initially. -

gitbase
SQL interface to git repositories, written in Go.
gitbase, is a SQL database interface to Git repositories. This project is now part of source{d} Community Edition, which provides the simplest way to get started with a single command. It can be used to perform SQL queries about the Git history and about the Universal AST of the code itself. gitbase is being built to work on top of any number of git repositories. gitbase implements the MySQL wire protocol, it can be accessed using any MySQL client or library from any language. The project is currently in alpha stage, meaning it's still lacking performance in a number of cases but we are working hard on getting a performant system able to process thousands of repositories in a single node. Stay tuned! gitbase was born to ease the analysis of git repositories and their source code. Also, making it MySQL compatible, we provide the maximum compatibility between languages and existing tools. -

Delta
A viewer for git and diff output
Code evolves, and we all spend time studying diffs. Delta aims to make this both efficient and enjoyable: it allows you to make extensive changes to the layout and styling of diffs, as well as allowing you to stay arbitrarily close to the default git/diff output. Language syntax highlighting with color themes. Within-line highlights based on a Levenshtein edit inference algorithm. Git style strings (foreground color, background color, font attributes) are supported for >20 stylable elements. Delta provides Stylable box/line decorations to draw attention to commit, file and hunk header sections. Support for Git's color-moved feature. Code can be copied directly from the diff. n and N keybindings to move between files in large diffs, and between diffs in log -p views. Commit hashes can be formatted as terminal hyperlinks to the GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket page. Delta acts as a pager for git's output, and delta in turn passes its own output on to a "real" pager. -

git-tfs
A Git/TFS bridge, similar to git-svn
git-tfs is a two-way bridge between TFS (Team Foundation Server) and git, similar to git-svn. It fetches TFS commits into a git repository, and lets you push your updates back to TFS. git-tfs is a two-way bridge between TFS and git, similar to git-svn. If the build fails to build some GitTfs.Vs201x projects, just unload in Visual Studio all the projects you are not interested in to be able to build and use your own version. You could also install, the Team Foundation Server Object Model for Tfs 2012 (chocolatey) and Tfs 2013 (chocolatey). -
23
GLab
The GitLab CLI tool
GLab is an open source GitLab CLI tool bringing GitLab to your terminal next to where you are already working with git and your code without switching between windows and browser tabs. Work with issues, merge requests, watch running pipelines directly from your CLI among other features. Inspired by gh, the official GitHub CLI tool. glab is available for repositories hosted on GitLab.com and self-hosted GitLab Instances. glab supports multiple authenticated GitLab instances and automatically detects the authenticated hostname from the remotes available in the working git directory. Please take care when running scripts in this fashion. Consider peeking at the install script itself and verify that it works as intended. glab is available on the KISS Linux Community Repo as gitlab-glab. If you already have the community repo configured in your KISS_PATH you can install glab through your terminal. -

Gitinspector
The statistical analysis tool for git repositories
Gitinspector is a statistical analysis tool for git repositories. The default analysis shows general statistics per author, which can be complemented with a timeline analysis that shows the workload and activity of each author. Under normal operation, it filters the results to only show statistics about a number of given extensions and by default only includes source files in the statistical analysis. This tool was originally written to help fetch repository statistics from student projects in the course Object-oriented Programming Project (TDA367/DIT211) at Chalmers University of Technology and Gothenburg University. Shows cumulative work by each author in history. Filters results by an extension (default: java,c,cc,cpp,h,hh,hpp,py,glsl,rb,js, SQL). Can display a statistical timeline analysis. Scans for all filetypes (by extension) found in the repository. Multi-threaded; uses multiple instances of git to speed up analysis when possible.
