GitPython is a python library used to interact with Git repositories, high-level like git-porcelain, or low-level like git-plumbing.

It provides abstractions of Git objects for easy access of repository data, and additionally allows you to access the Git repository more directly using either a pure Python implementation, or the faster, but more resource intensive git command implementation.

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.

This is a minimalist decentralized issue management system based on Git, offering (optional) bidirectional integration with GitHub and GitLab issue management.

This package provides a Mercurial extension for signing the changeset hash of commits. The signure is embedded directly in the changeset itself; there won't be any extra commits. Either GnuPG or OpenSSL can be used for signing.

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.

Mercurial is a free, distributed source control management tool. It efficiently handles projects of any size and offers an easy and intuitive interface.

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.

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.

git open opens the repository's website from the command-line, guessing the URL pattern from the origin remote.

RCS is the original Revision Control System. It works on a file-by-file basis, in contrast to subsequent version control systems such as CVS, Subversion, and Git. This can make it suitable for system administration files, for example, which are often inherently local to one machine.

ghq provides a way to organize remote repository clones, like go get does. When you clone a remote repository by ghq get, ghq makes a directory under a specific root directory (by default ~/ghq) using the remote repository URL's host and path.

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

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

Savane is a Web-based software hosting system. It includes issue tracking (bugs, tasks, support, news and documentation), project member management by roles and individual account maintenance.

hut is a CLI tool for sr.ht. It helps you interact with sr.ht's public services:

builds

submit and manage build jobs

git

create, and manage git repositories and artifacts

hg

list Mercurial repositories

lists

manage mailing lists and patches

meta

manage PGP, and SSH keys

pages

publish and manage hosted websites

paste

create and manage pastes

todo

create and manage trackers, tickets

graphql

interact with GraphQL APIs directly

git-cal is a script to view commits calendar similar to GitHub contributions calendar.

This Git extension defines a subcommand, when-merged, whose core operation is to find the merge that brought a given commit into the specified ref(s). It has various options that control how information about the merge is displayed.

git-spice (gs) is a command line tool for stacking Git branches, a collection of branches expecting the trunk has a base branch. It manages and navigates stacks of branches, conveniently modifies and rebases them also provides an integration with GitHub and GitLab.

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.

Vincent Driessen's branching model is a git branching and release management strategy that helps developers keep track of features, hotfixes, and releases in bigger software projects. The git-flow library of git subcommands helps automate some parts of the flow to make working with it a lot easier.

Breezy (brz) is a decentralized revision control system. By default, Breezy provides support for both the Bazaar and Git file formats. Breezy is backwabrds 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.

Script that copies a directory to the gh-pages branch (by default) of the repository.

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.

Compute various size metrics for a Git repository, flagging those that might cause problems or inconvenience.
