Users and developers looking for a text-based user interface to Git to perform elaborate version control tasks

About Magit

Magit is a complete text-based user interface to Git. It fills the glaring gap between the Git command-line interface and various GUIs, letting you perform trivial as well as elaborate version control tasks with just a couple of mnemonic key presses. Magit looks like a prettified version of what you get after running a few Git commands but in Magit every bit of visible information is also actionable to an extent that goes far beyond what any Git GUI provides and it takes care of automatically refreshing this output when it becomes outdated. In the background Magit just runs Git commands and if you wish you can see what exactly is being run, making it possible for you to learn the git command-line by using Magit. Using Magit for a while will make you a more effective version control user. Magit supports and streamlines the use of Git features that most users and developers of other Git clients apparently thought could not be reasonably mapped to a non-command-line interface.

GitX is a git GUI made for Mac OS X. It currently features a history viewer much like gitk and a commit GUI like git gui. But then in silky smooth OS X style! GitX runs on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Because it uses features like Garbage Collection, you can't compile it on earlier systems. GitX also requires a fairly recent Git, version 1.6.0 and higher are all supported. After starting GitX, you can install the command-line tool through the menu (GitX->Enable Terminal Usage). This will install a “gitx” binary in /usr/local/bin. Detailed history viewer, nice commit GUI, allowing hunk- and line-wise staging. Fast workflow, explore tree of any revision, nice Aqua interface, paste commits to gist.github.com, QuickLook integration.

GitX-dev
GitX-dev
GitX-dev is a fork (variant) of GitX, a long-defunct GUI for the git version-control system. It has been maintained and enhanced with productivity and friendliness oriented changes, with effort focused on making a first-class, maintainable tool for today's active developers. Building on the solid foundation of GitX, GitX-dev provides history browsing of your repository. See a nicely formatted diff of any revision, search based on author or revision subject. Look at the complete tree of any revision, and preview any file in the tree in a text view or with QuickLook. Drag and drop files out of the tree view to copy them to your system. Support for all parameters git rev-list has good performance on large (200+ MB) repositories. GitX-dev is further specialized for software developers, and is used day-to-day in production environments. We consider it to be feature-complete for most git workflows, with only uncommon or potentially-destructive commands requiring git command-line interaction.
