SmartGit

SmartGit is an easy-to-use graphical user interface for Git and Mercurial with optimized work-flows. SmartGit supports all Git and Mercurial features needed for every-day work in software development projects:

- Local working tree operations
- Status, diff, log
- Push, pull, fetch (for all protocols)
- Tag and branch management
- Merge, Cherry-pick, rebase, revert

Everything Under Control

The SmartGit project window gives you an optimal overview of the current state of the project. At a glance you can see which files have been newly created, modified or deleted in your working tree. A single click reveals the changes in detail.

Simplicity

SmartGit makes Git`s powerful features easy to use by hiding Git`s complexity. For example, you never have to enter a long and hard-to-remember commit ID: When choosing a commit, you simply pick one from a graphical log.

Another example: Git offers a very powerful rebase command, allowing you to apply changes from one branch to another. With SmartGit, simply select the commits to perform the rebase on.

Graphical Log

The graphical log shows the change History of the whole project or of a single file. You will be able to instantly find out the status of your local branches (puzzle-tile display) and Details like the commit message, commit time, author or which files were modified. Moreover, the most important commands can be performed directly from the graphical log.

Out-of-the-Box

SmartGit only requires a Java Runtime Environment and a Git or Mercurial installation on your system, nothing more. There is no need to install a separate file compare or merge tool, or an SSH client, to work with SmartGit — although, when needed, SmartGit can support these as well.
