What is gitg?
gitg is a git repository viewer targeting gtk+/GNOME. One of its main objectives is to provide a more unified user experience for git frontends across multiple desktops. It does this not be writing a cross-platform application, but by close collaboration with similar clients for other operating systems (like GitX for OS X).
gitg targets cases where it is useful to provide a graphical representation of git data or actions. The history view is a good example where graphical representation helps to get an overview of the repository. gitg does not aim to be an advanced tool which allows access to every feature of git through a graphical interface, it will however try to incorporate common actions which might require multiple actions on the command line (like staging, unstaging, reverting and committing).






Comments and Reviews
(windows) Incredibly slow. Like, I can't even explain how much it stutters. It happens in every single action and menu. You can simply try to scroll, and it will stutter for 5-10 seconds before responding to scrolling. I have never seen such an awful app in my life. Even buggy app is much more preferable than this.
Just use homebrew
Cannot clone a github.com repo for no reason while other git client can do so on my Ubuntu Desktop 16 laptop.
