tortoisegit for ubuntu

Question

Are there any alternatives to ToroiseGIT for Ubuntu?

I'm looking for something to integrate GIT with nautilus in the context menu.

Like TortoiseHG used to (replaced with HG scripts)

Solution 1

I suggest rabbitvcs, which supports nautilus integration for SVN and GIT:

rabbitvcs website

Solution 2

SmartGit is fabulous - http://www.syntevo.com/smartgit/

I've used Tortoise and for Git the SmartGit makes it that simple to use.

For XUbuntu users (and not only) Thunar have the great thunar-vcs-plugin

+1 If you like the way tortoise works, you'll love rabbitvcs. Also there is a rabbitvcs plug-in to gedit so you can manage your versioning without leaving the editor.

Sounds cool I'll check it out. it would have been a bonus if it supported mercurial also.

It isn't free but has 30-days trial.

How do I right click a file and commit it with rabbitvcs?

I'm using it for free, Easily crackable. I did.

I used both. SmartGit lacks important functions for managing large repositories, eg. filter commits, only show commits with tag/branch, etc.

It looks like they aren't maintaining binary releases anymore, so it's become much harder for new users to install this on Bionic and above.

RabbitVCS has a serious bug of not being able to commit the deletion of files. I had this issue too. (github.com/rabbitvcs/rabbitvcs/issues/308)
