Pre-commit is a multi-language package manager for pre-commit hooks. You specify a list of hooks you want and pre-commit manages the installation and execution of any hook written in any language before every commit.

Libgit2 is a portable, pure C implementation of the Git core methods provided as a re-entrant linkable library with a solid API, allowing you to write native speed custom Git applications in any language with bindings.

diff-so-fancy strives to make your diffs human readable instead of machine readable. This helps improve code quality and helps you spot defects faster.

Breezy (brz) is a decentralized revision control system. By default, Breezy provides support for both the Bazaar and Git file formats. Breezy is backwards compatible with Bazaar's disk format and protocols. One of the key differences with Bazaar is that Breezy runs on Python 3.3 and later, rather than on Python 2.

Qgit is a graphical front-end for git, with features to:

• view revisions, diffs, files history, files annotation and archive tree,

• commit changes visually cherry picking modified files,

• apply or save patch series from selected commits, drag and drop commits,

• associate commands sequences, scripts and anything else executable to a custom action,

• push/pop commits,

• apply/save/create patches

• and cherry pick single modified files.

The vc-dwim package contains two tools, "vc-dwim" and "vc-chlog". vc-dwim is a tool that simplifies the task of maintaining a ChangeLog and using version control at the same time, for example by printing a reminder when a file change has been described in the ChangeLog but the file has not been added to the VC. vc-chlog scans changed files and generates standards-compliant ChangeLog entries based on the changes that it detects.

Evolve is a Mercurial extension for faster and safer mutable history. It implements the changeset evolution concept for Mercurial.

The b4 command is designed to make it easier to participate in patch-based workflows for projects that have public-inbox archives.

Features include:

• downloading a thread's mbox given a message ID

• processing an mbox so that is ready to be fed to git-am

• creating templated replies for processed patches and pull requests

• submitting cryptographic attestation for patches.

Fossil is a distributed source control management system which supports access and administration over HTTP CGI or via a built-in HTTP server. It has a built-in wiki, built-in file browsing, built-in tickets system, etc.

Grokmirror enables replicating large git repository collections efficiently. Mirrors decide to clone and update repositories based on a manifest file published by servers.

GitDB allows you to access bare Git repositories for reading and writing. It aims at allowing full access to loose objects as well as packs with performance and scalability in mind. It operates exclusively on streams, allowing to handle large objects with a small memory footprint.

StGit uses a patch stack workflow. Each individual patch focuses on a single concern, while a stack of patches forms a series of commits. Patches are stored as normal git commits, allowing easy merging of StGit patches into other repositories using standard Git.

Features include:

• Import and export patches from Git with stg commit and stg uncommit

• Create new patches and add them to the stack with stg new

• Update a patch from the working tree with stg refresh and stg edit

• See information about the stack or patch with stg series and stg show

• Export and send a series of patches by email using stg email

fnc uses ncurses and libfossil to create a fossil user interface in the terminal. It can view local changes at the hunk level to prepare atomic commits.

Git is a free distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.

Libgit2 is a portable, pure C implementation of the Git core methods provided as a re-entrant linkable library with a solid API, allowing you to write native speed custom Git applications in any language with bindings.

Stagit creates static pages for git repositories, the results can be served with a HTTP file server of your choice.

GNU Arch, aka. tla, was one of the first free distributed version-control systems (DVCS). It saw its last release in 2006. This package is provided for users who need to recover tla repositories and for historians.

gource provides a software version control visualization. The repository is displayed as a tree where the root of the repository is the centre, directories are branches and files are leaves. Contributors to the source code appear and disappear as they contribute to specific files and directories.

Gitlint is a Git commit message linter written in Python: it checks your commit messages for style.

Libgit2 is a portable, pure C implementation of the Git core methods provided as a re-entrant linkable library with a solid API, allowing you to write native speed custom Git applications in any language with bindings.

Recursively find the newest file in a file tree and print its modification time.

SRC (or src) is simple revision control, a version-control system for single-file projects by solo developers and authors. It modernizes the venerable RCS, hence the anagrammatic acronym. The design is tuned for use cases like all those little scripts in your ~/bin directory, or a directory full of HOWTOs.

Aegis is a project change supervisor, and performs some of the Software Configuration Management needed in a CASE environment. Aegis provides a framework within which a team of developers may work on many changes to a program independently, and Aegis coordinates integrating these changes back into the master source of the program, with as little disruption as possible. Resolution of contention for source files, a major headache for any project with more than one developer, is one of Aegis's major functions.

git-repo provides Git extensions for interacting conveniently with AGit-Flow or Gerrit servers. It makes it possible to create, update or fetch PR, and more. It is based on the repo tool that was developed for the Gerrit project, but also supports AGit-Flow and lifts the requirement to use a manifest file.
