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 Town
Generic, high-level Git workflow support!
Git Town adds Git commands that make software development more efficient by keeping Git branches better in sync with each other. This reduces merge conflicts and the number of Git commands you need to run. Git is a flexible source code management system. The Git CLI (correctly) supports all possible ways of using Git equally well. It provides basic commands out of which Git users can implement their particular Git workflows. This generic design can make using the Git CLI repetitive in real life. As the screencast above demonstrates, typical development activities like creating, synchronizing, or shipping a feature branch require running multiple, sometimes dozens of Git commands. Git Town adds a high-level layer of Git commands for these activities. These commands are compatible with most common branching models like GitHub Flow, Git Flow, GitLab Flow, trunk-based development and even committing straight into the main branch. See also this external review. -

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. -

Git
Fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a free, distributed version control system created by Linus Torvalds in 2005 to manage the development of the Linux kernel. It emphasizes speed, data integrity, and support for non-linear workflows, and remains the most popular VCS for collaborative software development. Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. -

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. -

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. -

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. -

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. -

Fix All Conflicts
Easy-to-use CUI for fixing git conflicts
I never really liked any of the mergetools out there so I made a program that is somewhat easier to use.fac operates much like git add -p . It has a prompt input at the bottom of the screen where the user inputs various commands. The above key-bindings and various behaviors can be altered by creating a .fac.yml file in your home directory. Please refer to the configuration README.md for more information. -

Branchless workflow for Git
High-velocity, monorepo-scale workflow for Git
git-branchless is a suite of tools that enhances Git in several ways. It makes Git easier to use, both for novices and for power users. Patch-stack workflows: strong support for "patch-stack" workflows as used by the Linux and Git projects, as well as at many large tech companies. (This is how Git was "meant" to be used.) Prototyping and experimenting workflows: strong support for prototyping and experimental work via "divergent" development. git sync: to rebase all local commit stacks and branches without having to check them out first. git move: The ability to move subtrees rather than "sticks" while cleaning up old branches, not touching the working copy, etc. Anonymous branching: reduces the overhead of branching for experimental work. In-memory operations: to modify the commit graph without having to check out the commits in question. git next/prev: to quickly jump between commits and branches in a commit stack.
