[RFD PATCH] Documentation: remove git-tools

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



git-tools.txt is outdated, it has been touched last in 2007, and it is
superceded by the online wiki. So, remove it from the tree.

It's never too late for spring cleaning...

I don't think historic documents are bad but this one is simply outdated.

-A short git tools survey
-========================
-
-
-Introduction
-------------
-
-Apart from git contrib/ area there are some others third-party tools
-you may want to look.
-
-This document presents a brief summary of each tool and the corresponding
-link.
-
-
-Alternative/Augmentative Porcelains
------------------------------------
-
-   - *Cogito* (http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/cogito/)
-
-   Cogito is a version control system layered on top of the git tree history
-   storage system. It aims at seamless user interface and ease of use,
-   providing generally smoother user experience than the "raw" Core GIT
-   itself and indeed many other version control systems.
-
-   Cogito is no longer maintained as most of its functionality
-   is now in core GIT.
-
-
-   - *pg* (http://www.spearce.org/category/projects/scm/pg/)
-
-   pg is a shell script wrapper around GIT to help the user manage a set of
-   patches to files. pg is somewhat like quilt or StGIT, but it does have a
-   slightly different feature set.
-
-
-   - *StGit* (http://www.procode.org/stgit/)
-
-   Stacked GIT provides a quilt-like patch management functionality in the
-   GIT environment. You can easily manage your patches in the scope of GIT
-   until they get merged upstream.
-
-
-History Viewers
----------------
-
-   - *gitk* (shipped with git-core)
-
-   gitk is a simple Tk GUI for browsing history of GIT repositories easily.
-
-
-   - *gitview*  (contrib/)
-
-   gitview is a GTK based repository browser for git
-
-
-   - *gitweb* (shipped with git-core)
-
-   GITweb provides full-fledged web interface for GIT repositories.
-
-
-   - *qgit* (http://digilander.libero.it/mcostalba/)
-
-   QGit is a git/StGIT GUI viewer built on Qt/C++. QGit could be used
-   to browse history and directory tree, view annotated files, commit
-   changes cherry picking single files or applying patches.
-   Currently it is the fastest and most feature rich among the git
-   viewers and commit tools.
-
-   - *tig* (http://jonas.nitro.dk/tig/)
-
-   tig by Jonas Fonseca is a simple git repository browser
-   written using ncurses. Basically, it just acts as a front-end
-   for git-log and git-show/git-diff. Additionally, you can also
-   use it as a pager for git commands.
-
-
-Foreign SCM interface
----------------------
-
-   - *git-svn* (shipped with git-core)
-
-   git-svn is a simple conduit for changesets between a single Subversion
-   branch and git.
-
-
-   - *quilt2git / git2quilt* (http://home-tj.org/wiki/index.php/Misc)
-
-   These utilities convert patch series in a quilt repository and commit
-   series in git back and forth.
-
-
-   - *hg-to-git* (contrib/)
-
-   hg-to-git converts a Mercurial repository into a git one, and
-   preserves the full branch history in the process. hg-to-git can
-   also be used in an incremental way to keep the git repository
-   in sync with the master Mercurial repository.
-
-
-Others
-------
-
-   - *(h)gct* (http://www.cyd.liu.se/users/~freku045/gct/)
-
-   Commit Tool or (h)gct is a GUI enabled commit tool for git and
-   Mercurial (hg). It allows the user to view diffs, select which files
-   to committed (or ignored / reverted) write commit messages and
-   perform the commit itself.
-
-   - *git.el* (contrib/)
-
-   This is an Emacs interface for git. The user interface is modeled on
-   pcl-cvs. It has been developed on Emacs 21 and will probably need some
-   tweaking to work on XEmacs.
-
-
-http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/InterfacesFrontendsAndTools has more
-comprehensive list.
