Graphical UI's for Git¶

Git can be used from the command line. You also find graphical tools.
Git provides two graphical tools:

• gitk shows the history
• git gui shows an editor that allows you to perform Git operations.

The Eclipse EGit project provides Git integration into Eclipse, which is included in the latest Eclipse release.

Git merging tools¶

The git mergetool command starts a configurable merge tool that displays the changes in a split screen (e.g.: on Ubuntu you can use the tool meld).
