NAME
git-gui - A portable graphical interface to GitSYNOPSIS
git gui [<command>] [<arguments>]
DESCRIPTION
A Tcl/Tk based graphical user interface to Git. git gui focuses on allowing users to make changes to their repository by making new commits, amending existing ones, creating branches, performing local merges, and fetching/pushing to remote repositories.COMMANDS
blameStart a blame viewer on the specified file on
the given version (or working directory if not specified).
browser
Start a tree browser showing all files in the
specified commit. Files selected through the browser are opened in the blame
viewer.
citool
Start git gui and arrange to make
exactly one commit before exiting and returning to the shell. The interface is
limited to only commit actions, slightly reducing the application’s
startup time and simplifying the menubar.
version
Display the currently running version of
git gui.
EXAMPLES
git gui blame MakefileShow the contents of the file Makefile
in the current working directory, and provide annotations for both the
original author of each line, and who moved the line to its current location.
The uncommitted file is annotated, and uncommitted changes (if any) are
explicitly attributed to Not Yet Committed.
git gui blame v0.99.8 Makefile
Show the contents of Makefile in
revision v0.99.8 and provide annotations for each line. Unlike the
above example the file is read from the object database and not the working
directory.
git gui blame --line=100 Makefile
Loads annotations as described above and
automatically scrolls the view to center on line 100.
git gui citool
Make one commit and return to the shell when
it is complete. This command returns a non-zero exit code if the window was
closed in any way other than by making a commit.
git gui citool --amend
Automatically enter the Amend Last
Commit mode of the interface.
git gui citool --nocommit
Behave as normal citool, but instead of making
a commit simply terminate with a zero exit code. It still checks that the
index does not contain any unmerged entries, so you can use it as a GUI
version of git-mergetool(1)
git citool
Same as git gui citool (above).
git gui browser maint
Show a browser for the tree of the
maint branch. Files selected in the browser can be viewed with the
internal blame viewer.
SEE ALSO
gitk(1)The Git repository browser. Shows branches,
commit history and file differences. gitk is the utility started by git
gui's Repository Visualize actions.

git gui is actually maintained as an independent project, but stable versions are distributed as part of the Git suite for the convenience of end users.https://github.com/prati0100/git-gui.git/
