Aside from the other good GUIs out there, have you tried git-cola? http://cola.tuxfamily.org/ It's GPL and not too shabby. The screenshots on the webpage are a bit out of date, though. I should probably get to writing the release announcment and updating the screenshots ;) It probably also depends on your platform of choice. I know some Windows users like explorer-integration, so stuff like git-cheetah make a lot of sense for them. I was a little sad to see that the tortoise-git guys didn't get the joke (who wants a tortoise when you have a cheetah?) and didn't just work on cheetah instead, but hey, it's all good. Another example: eclipse users like eclipse integration so for them egit makes perfect sense. Maybe that makes git-cola the poor man's smartgit? If that's the case then it looks like the poor man is still winning according to the feature matrix on the git wiki ;) I don't know.. I haven't used smartgit, but if there are any features that people are itching to have that git-cola doesn't then feel free to throw it on the backlog: http://github.com/davvid/git-cola/issues At first glance, the gitk-like history widget in smartgit is very nice. I've been thinking about how to implement that in PyQt for a while but haven't yet hammered it out. Have fun, -- David
