First of all, this is not another gitweb or gitorious. This is a client to use git. I mean, you could use this to work on git repositories. (even editing files) This program can be used in 2 ways. One, Use it locally and Two, hosted in a website for many users It's structure will be like this: * When you start this program by typing gittor in terminal, A new window will be opened with your preferred browser * It will take you directly to you repositories overview whose file paths have been previously provided by you. * Now after selecting a repository, you can explore among the commits, diffs, blames, trees (similiar to git web) * But also you will have other options like # Edit file: Opens a browser based syntax highlighted file editor. # See status: See the status of current working repository(git status) # See diff: See diffs # Create and/or Change branches # Add/Remove files. # Show functionalities # Commit with log messages # Push/Pull remote repositories # Garbage collection # And all other major functionalities while using git on a working repository So, as u see, it is a combination of gitweb and GUI client to use git. This opens in a internet browser, because it's easy to write GUI for it.(HTML) Also it can be used by companies by hosting it in a website and ask their members to login and work on it by website URL. But mostly this will be used locally. -pavan
