blame outputs an annotated revision from each RCS file. An annotated RCS file describes the revision and date in which each line was added to the file, and the author of each line.

This package provides a syntax-aware merge driver for Git.

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.

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

This package enables manipulating multiple version control repositories with one command.

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.

The rcshist utility displays the complete revision history of a set of RCS files including log messages and patches. It can also display the patch associated with a particular revision of an RCS file.

git-credential-oauth is a Git credential helper that securely authenticates to GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket, Gerrit, Gitea, and Forgejo using OAuth. The first time you authenticate, the helper opens a browser window to the host. Subsequent authentication within storage lifetime is non-interactive.

CGit is an attempt to create a fast web interface for the Git SCM, using a built-in cache to decrease server I/O pressure.

This hook sends emails describing changes introduced by pushes to a Git repository. For each reference that was changed, it emits one ReferenceChange email summarizing how the reference was changed, followed by one Revision email for each new commit that was introduced by the reference change.

This script is designed to be used as a post-receive hook in a Git repository

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.

git filter-repo is a versatile tool for rewriting history, which roughly falls into the same space of tool like git filter-branch but with more capabilities. git filter-repo is now recommended by the Git project instead of git filter-branch.

The git-extras package provides a collection of additional git commands for repository metrics and summarization, commit and log editing, developer workflow, and project and release management.

git-crypt enables transparent encryption and decryption of files in a git repository. Files which you choose to protect are encrypted when committed, and decrypted when checked out. git-crypt lets you freely share a repository containing a mix of public and private content. git-crypt gracefully degrades, so developers without the secret key can still clone and commit to a repository with encrypted files. This lets you store your secret material (such as keys or passwords) in the same repository as your code, without requiring you to lock down your entire repository.

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.

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.

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.

vcsh version-controls configuration files in several Git repositories, all in one single directory. They all maintain their working trees without clobbering each other or interfering otherwise. By default, all Git repositories maintained via vcsh store the actual files in $HOME, though this can be overridden.

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.

commit-patch is a utility that lets you check in select portions of a file into Darcs, Git, Mercurial, Bazaar, Subversion, or CVS repositories. It comes as a command line app and also an Emacs interface.

git-pages is a static site server for use with Git forges (i.e. a GitHub Pages replacement). It is written with efficiency in mind, scaling horizontally to any number of machines and serving sites up to multiple gigabytes in size, while being equally suitable for small single-user deployments.

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.

This package provides pijul, a sound and fast distributed version control system based on a mathematical theory of asynchronous work.

This package provides a custom transfer agent for Git LFS, allowing plain S3 bucket usage as remote storage for media files. This package uses a standalone agent instead of a server.
