git gui that shows branches well

Question

I have been using gitk and am looking for something that shows all my branches and preferably the branches available on remotes. Could you recommend one?

EDIT: I do a lot of rebasing between branches and like to easily see which branch pulled from where. Its more useful to see all the branches

Answer 1

Check out gitg. I find the interface to be a lot nicer than gitk.

Answer 2

If you are using windows, Git Extensions has worked well for me to see checkins with branches.

Answer 3

It's not so much an application, but I find github's network view quite useful. gitg as peterjmag mentions is also great.

Answer 4

Take a look at tools listed and described in "Graphical Interfaces" section of Interfaces, frontends, and tools page on Git Wiki.

Beside gitk (history browser) and git gui (commit tool), both distributed with Git and both written in Tcl/Tk, there are among others the following graphical interfaces for Linux:

• QGit, which uses Qt toolkit, in C++
• Giggle, which uses GTK+ toolkit, in C
• git-cola, written in Python, uses PyQt4 toolkit
• gitg, a clone of GitX for GTK+/GNOME, in C
• tig (Text-mode Interface for Git), uses ncurses, in C

There is also git-instaweb to browse your working repository using gitweb.
