List of useful git tools

Question

Reading SO I still find nice, new tools for using with git. If you know any, please share it answering this question.

My first proposal is:

gitolite, a tool for managing access to git repositories, which is an newer version of gitosis.

(Please post one tool for an answer, with short description, so we could easily comment them).

So:

• Which git tools do you consider most useful?

Answer 1

gitflow - a set of Git extensions to provide high-level repository operations for Vincent Driessen's branching model.
