qgit.app: A Qt-based Git Repository Viewer for OS X

Today I finally convinced qgit to generate a universal binary for OS X. This is unsupported software, but it appears to work fine for me on i386 and ppc 10.5.2. It should also work just fine on 10.4. This is an awesome little utility for viewing patches, diffs, and branches inside of a git repository.

Hope you find it useful. Download qgit.app.

    This could come in very handy. I’m still trying to get the hang of using git where I have a desktop and a laptop. Do you use it that way? Would you be willing to post a short article on how you handle merging and such?

    As things are right now, I cheat. I have an rsync script that syncs a /Data folder between my desktop and my laptop. This is because I also have a bunch of unversioned stuff and I don’t believe in using SCM as a way to sync two separate devices. However, a bunch of people probably disagree with me here and I welcome any and all comments, suggestions, and the like!

    Wow, this is great. Beats gitk by far. I just recently switched Aurora and some other projects from SVN. git is just so much faster, its branch and tag handling is not an ugly hack, etc. I love it. Plus, I can commit stuff while on the MTA or elsewhere without internet access. You can’t do this with a central SVN repository. You can do it with a local SVN repo, but then again it becomes harder to work on the same project on your main and portable machine (even if you’re alone! - which you likely aren’t). Seeing how git is a little different, qgit might help switchers to become familiar with it. Thumbs up! Almost makes me wanna write a Cocoa interface to git. No time for that, though.

    Aloha!

    Thanks for creating an app of qgit2.0. Version 2.1 is out and it is not cooperating when I try to get it to build. Could you please post more instructions on how you managed to get it to build? I must be missing something. I have searched Google and you look like the best shot at helping me sort this out.

    Thanks!

    Mark
