GITK简介

---

gitk - The git repository browser

Displays changes in a repository or a selected set of commits. This includes visualizing
the commit graph, showing information related to each commit, and the files in the trees of
each revision.

Historically, gitk was the first repository browser. It’s written in tcl/tk and started off
in a separate repository but was later merged into the main git repository.

GITK常用选项

---

-n <number>, --max-count=<number>
Limits the number of commits to show.

--since=<date>
Show commits more recent than a specific date.

--until=<date>
Show commits older than a specific date.

--select-commit=<ref>
Automatically select the specified commit after loading the graph. Default behavior is
equivalent to specifying --select-commit=HEAD.

举例

gitk v2.6.12.. include/scsi drivers/scsi
Show the changes since version v2.6.12 that changed any file in the include/scsi or
drivers/scsi subdirectories

gitk --since="2 weeks ago" -- gitk
Show the changes during the last two weeks to the file gitk. The "--" is necessary to
avoid confusion with the branch named gitk

gitk --max-count=100 --all -- Makefile
Show at most 100 changes made to the file Makefile. Instead of only looking for changes
in the current branch look in all branches.

其他git图形用户工具

QGit, gitview, tig, smartgit

1) QGit

QGit在启动的时候可以弹出对话框让你选择你要显示的Top和Bottom，这点不错，但是初始化比gitk慢多了

QGit的图形显示较gitk更为直观

2) gitview

Did not find on Ubutnu 10.04LTS and Debian 6

3) tig

git文本模式的接口，较git直观

4)smartgit

windows下的git GUI工具
