Developers searching for a visual front-end for the git command line tool
About GitForce
It is designed to be easy and intuitive to use and yet powerful enough so you don't need to use a command line git. GitForce is written in C# and uses .NET 3.5 framework. The same binary file (“GitForce.exe”) runs as-is on both Windows and Linux operating systems (or any other OS with Mono support). The tool consists of only one executable file and needs no installer – just copy it to a folder of your choice and run it. Consequently, the main requirements are having .NET support (or Mono runtime on Linux) and the actual git command line tool, already installed and working. That said, GitForce is still powerful enough to be used exclusively, without calling up a command line git tool. It likely fully satisfies needs of a great majority of users. I hope that this tool will help many users who are new to git and also to people already familiar with Perforce (a similar source control front-end tool.)

Git Cola
Git Cola is a sleek and powerful graphical user interface for Git. Git Cola is free software and written in Python (v2 + v3). The editor used by Ctrl-e is configured from the Preferences screen. The environment variable $VISUAL is consulted when no editor has been configured. Configuring your editor to gvim -f -p will open multiple tabs when editing files. gvim -f -o uses splits. When you select a line in the grep screen and press any of Enter, Ctrl-e, or the Edit button, you are taken to that exact line. Git Cola has many useful keyboard shortcuts. Many of Git Cola’s editors understand vim-style hotkeys, eg. {h,j,k,l} for navigating in the diff, status, grep, and file browser widgets. The Git Cola interface is composed of various cooperating tools. Double-clicking a tool opens it in its own subwindow. Dragging it around moves and places it within the main window. Tools can be hidden and rearranged however you like. Git Cola carefully remembers your window layout and restores it.
