Besides the ones you list there is one built into Gitorious: https://gitorious.org/mediawiki/mediawiki-trunk-phase3/trees/master When I talked with Ryan Lane about our git setup one of the things he mentioned was how with Labs it would be possible for me to setup Gitorious on Labs, puppetize it, and later have it pushed out to production. Since git is distributed there isn't much to setting up a new git ui. So later on it should be possible for anye of us to setup whatever other git ui we like and have it pushed out to production... heck, we could have as many as we want. -- ~Daniel Friesen (Dantman, Nadir-Seen-Fire) [http://daniel.friesen.name] _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

collecting previously mailed information and started a new section http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Git_Graphical_User_Interfaces#Viewers_%28repo… browsers for "git": My starting point was http://stackoverflow.com/questions/438163/whats-the-best-web-interface-for-… gitalist http://www.gitalist.com/ gitweb http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/Gitweb cgit http://hjemli.net/git/cgit/ FishEye (Atlassian, not free) https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/gitweb?p=operations%2Fpuppet.git https://gitorious.org/mediawiki/mediawiki-trunk-phase3/trees/master http://gitlabhq.com/ I checked all of the mentioned git viewers. As far as I can see, most of the mentioned viewers lack an apparent function to view _arbitrary_ "diffs". I like the ViewVC function "select for diffs" which allows easily to compare any version, and (currently) still prefer the ViewVC interface.

ViewVC's screen layout is clear and well arranged even on smaller screens; most of the listed git viewers I have tested this weekend are complex. Further proposals and comments can now please got to the new section http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Git_Graphical_User_Interfaces#Viewers_%28repo…
