[ANNOUNCE] Gct-0.1, a GUI enabled Git commit tool

[Fredrik Kuivinen]

Hi,

Gct v0.1 has been released and can be downloaded from
http://www.cyd.liu.se/~freku045/gct/gct-0.1.tar.gz

What follows is an excerpt from the README in the tarball:

Introduction
------------

Git Commit Tool or gct is a simple GUI enabled Git commit tool. It
allows the user to select which files should be committed, write
commit messages and perform the commit. It also has some support for
controlling the synchronisation between the Git cache and the working
directory.

Any comments, suggestions and/or bug reports regarding Gct are greatly
appreciated.

Requirements
------------

* Python, http://www.python.org
* Qt version 3.*, http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt/index.html
* PyQt, http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/pyqt/
* Git a fairly recent snapshot,
 http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/ and
 rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git

Gct has been developed with Python 2.3, Qt 3.3.4 and PyQt 2.13. Other
fairly recent versions may or may not work.

do you have any screenshots please? From the description it appears it
is actually not any more powerful than cg-commit. Does it let you see
the diff, actually prune the changes to be committed and such?

I have uploaded a screenshot now, it is available at
http://www.cyd.liu.se/~freku045/gct/

I haven't used cg-commit, but from a quick reading of the code it
seems that the functionality is similar to Gct. You do see the diffs
in Gct but it is currently not possible to do a more fine grained
selection of what to commit (that is, finer than selecting which files
to commit). Selection of individual hunks is on the todo list though.
