About QGit

QGit is a graphical Git viewer built with Qt. It lets you browse the revision history, view patch content and changed files, and follow development branches visually.

The repository includes a desktop entry and AppStream metadata for Linux, along with a Windows installer script. It is a lightweight choice for people who want a simple history viewer rather than a full-featured client.

Strengths

  • Lightweight Qt interface
  • Clear view of revision history and patches
  • Linux desktop integration included

Limitations

  • Mainly a viewer with limited Git operations
  • Small project with a small user base
