About gitg

gitg is the GNOME project's graphical user interface for Git, designed to be a small, fast and convenient way to visualize the history of a repository. Beyond the commit graph, it provides utilities to manage the repository, stage changes and commit work, and is available on Flathub as a Flatpak.
