List of revision control software

Client software[edit]

Subversion[edit]

Git[edit]

  • GitX is a git GUI specifically 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!
  • TortoiseGit is a port of the popular TortoiseSVN project to Git. TortoiseGit is very complete, able to commit, show the history log, diff two versions, create branches and tags, create patches and more.
  • Git Extensions is a small toolset to make working with Git under Windows a little more intuitive. The shell extension will intergrate in Windows Explorer and presents a nice context menu on files.
  • qgit is a Qt GUI for browsing history of Git repositories, similar to gitk but with more features.
  • tig is a text-mode interface for Git. It acts as a repository browser that can also act as a pager for various Git commands and manage your index (on diff chunk level).

Server Software[edit]

  • cool thing with git: you don't need git installed on your public server to make your repository available (as long as there's only one person pushing, and everybody else pulling from it, then you're ok with your basic simple web+ssh server)
    • on your dev-box:
  git update-server-info
  rsync -ave ssh /home/me/myproject/.git/ me@example.com:./public_html/myproject.git/
    • your friends can clone your repo
 
git clone http://example.com/me/myproject.git
 
    • and follow up your changes easily
  
git pull
   
    • and of course they can publish their changes on their servers, which you can pull in (let's say you're interested here the HEAD of the master-branch)
git pull http://somewhere.example.com/myproject.git master
