Watchtower
A process for automating Docker container base image updates
With watchtower you can update the running version of your containerized app simply by pushing a new image to the Docker Hub or your own image registry. Watchtower will pull down your new image, gracefully shut down your existing container and restart it with the same options that were used when it was deployed initially. Watchtower is an application that will monitor your running Docker containers and watch for changes to the images that those containers were originally started from. If watchtower detects that an image has changed, it will automatically restart the container using the new image. With watchtower you can update the running version of your containerized app simply by pushing a new image to the Docker Hub or your own image registry.

GLab
The GitLab CLI tool
GLab is an open source GitLab CLI tool bringing GitLab to your terminal next to where you are already working with git and your code without switching between windows and browser tabs. Work with issues, merge requests, watch running pipelines directly from your CLI among other features. Inspired by gh, the official GitHub CLI tool. glab is available for repositories hosted on GitLab.com and self-hosted GitLab Instances. glab supports multiple authenticated GitLab instances and automatically detects the authenticated hostname from the remotes available in the working git directory. Please take care when running scripts in this fashion. Consider peeking at the install script itself and verify that it works as intended. glab is available on the KISS Linux Community Repo as gitlab-glab. If you already have the community repo configured in your KISS_PATH you can install glab through your terminal. -

Git Updater
This WP plugin will update GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, etc.
This plugin was originally designed to simply update any GitHub-hosted WordPress plugin or theme. Your plugin or theme must contain a header in the style.css header or in the plugin's header denoting the location on GitHub. API plugins for Bitbucket, GitLab, Gitea, and Gist are available. API plugins are available for a one-click install from the Add-Ons tab. This update reincorporates all functionality into the Git Updater plugin and splits out the API components into individual API plugins. There is a 14-day free trial and a 30-day no questions asked money-back guarantee. Programming is a great creative outlet. As the Git Updater family of products has grown more developers are using it in their workflow and support requests are increasing. I made a decision to rebrand and monetize it. -

Gitblit
pure java git solution
Gitblit is an open-source, pure Java stack for managing, viewing, and serving Git repositories. It's designed primarily as a tool for small workgroups who want to host centralized repositories. Gitblit GO is an integrated, single-stack solution based on Jetty. You do not need Apache httpd, Perl, Git, or Gitweb. Should you want to use some or all of those, you still can; Gitblit plays nice with the other kids on the block. This is what you should download if you want to go from zero to Git in less than 5 mins. Gitblit WAR is what you should download if you already have a servlet container available that you wish to use. Jetty 6/7/8 and Tomcat 6/7 are known to work. Generally, any Servlet 2.5 or Servlet 3.0 container should work. Gitblit can be used as a dumb repository viewer with no administrative controls or user accounts. Gitblit can be used as a complete Git stack for cloning, pushing, and repository access control. -

git-flow (AVH Edition)
AVH Edition of the git extensions to provide high-level repository ops
A collection of Git extensions to provide high-level repository operations for Vincent Driessen's branching model. This fork adds functionality not added to the original branch. For those who use the Bash or ZSH shell, you can use my fork of git-flow-completion which includes several additions for git-flow (AVH Edition), or you can use the original git-flow-completion project by bobthecow. Both offer tab-completion for git-flow subcommands and branch names with my fork including tab-completion for the commands not found in the original git-flow. For a wide variety of commands hooks or filters can be called before and after the command. The files should be placed in .git/hooks In the directory hooks you can find examples of all the hooks available. You can easily publish a feature you are working on. The reason can be to allow other programmers to work on it or to access it from another machine. -

pre-commit-hooks
Some out-of-the-box hooks for pre-commit
Some out-of-the-box hooks for pre-commit. Using pre-commit-hooks with pre-commit. Instead of loading the files, simply parse them for syntax. A syntax-only check enables extensions and unsafe constructs which would otherwise be forbidden. Using this option removes all guarantees of portability to other yaml implementations. Detect symlinks which are changed to regular files with a content of a path that that symlink was pointing to. This usually happens on Windows when a user clones a repository that has symlinks but they do not have permission to create symlinks. Limits checked files to those indicated as staged for addition by git. Check all listed files not just those staged for addition. -

Git Blame Someone Else
Blame someone else for your bad code
git-blame-someone-else is a humorous Git utility created as a joke to let developers attribute problematic code to someone else. It modifies both the author and committer information of a commit, making it appear as though another contributor is responsible for the changes. While not intended for production repositories, it demonstrates how Git’s metadata can be manipulated for fun or demonstration purposes. The project highlights how easily commit authorship can be altered, serving as both a lighthearted tool and a reminder about the importance of trust in version control history. It’s written in shell script and is lightweight, requiring only Git and basic system tools to run. Despite being a novelty project, its popularity shows how developers appreciate humor injected into the programming ecosystem. -

Gitlogue
A cinematic Git commit replay tool for the terminal
Gitlogue provides a fun and creative command-line tool that turns your Git commit history into an animated replay, displaying your commits as if someone were typing the changes in real time with cinematic flair. When you run this tool in the terminal, it visually replays diffs line by line, highlights syntax, and shows changes evolving in a way that feels like watching a code story unfold, which can be entertaining and useful for reviewing history or showcasing progress. It builds on typical Git data but reshapes it into a compelling narrative with visual appeal, making it great for demos, teaching, or just savoring your development journey. The tool is standalone and designed to be easy to install and run, so users don’t need complex setups to enjoy animated commit histories. Gitlogue adds atmosphere and personality to otherwise dry version control logs, and it supports terminal-friendly output that respects your existing workflow. -

Guitar
Git GUI Client
Many Git client apps have some problems. It's too late to start up, falls well, is user registration tedious when downloading, is paid for commercial use, is not multi-platform, or is an animation or visual effect. It was said that the production was overkill and the wizard and the source code were not published. I tried to eliminate such inconvenience as much as possible. At first I started developing it for my own study, because I was interested in learning how to use Git and how it worked inside. Some of the best engineers of the time may think Git in GUI. That's a lot of it. When I want to execute a command that I rarely use, I sometimes force myself to do not rely on the GUI, open the terminal and hand enter the git command. If you find a feature that you find useful, you can incorporate it into this app. You can use it comfortably for daily use of Git operations, want to see the commit graphs cleanly, or just for such uses. -

Jujutsu
A Git-compatible DVCS that is both simple and powerful
Jujutsu (JJ VCS) is a modern, Git-compatible version control system designed to simplify and improve how developers manage code changes. It offers a clean and intuitive workflow that works well for both individual developers and large teams with complex histories. Jujutsu separates its user interface from its storage backend, allowing it to use Git repositories while rethinking the developer experience. The system treats the working copy as a real commit, removing the need for staging areas or stashes. Jujutsu records conflicts as first-class objects, making conflict resolution more flexible and reliable. It also maintains a complete operation log, allowing users to undo almost any action. Jujutsu aims to deliver powerful history rewriting and rebasing features without the complexity commonly associated with traditional tools. -

Talisman
Talisman validates the outgoing changeset
Talisman is a tool that installs a hook to your repository to ensure that potential secrets or sensitive information do not leave the developer's workstation. It validates the outgoing changeset for things that look suspicious - such as potential SSH keys, authorization tokens, private keys etc. Talisman can also be used as a repository history scanner to detect secrets that have already been checked in, so that you can take an informed decision to safeguard secrets. We recommend installing Talisman as a pre-commit git hook template, as that will cause Talisman to be present, not only in your existing git repositories, but also in any new repository that you 'init' or 'clone'. Installation of Talisman globally does not clobber pre-existing hooks on repositories. If the installation script finds any existing hooks, it will only indicate so on the console. After the installation is successful, Talisman will run checks for obvious secrets automatically before each commit or push. -

WSLGit
Use Git installed in Bash on Windows/Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)
This project provides a small executable that forwards all arguments to git running inside Bash on Windows/Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Use Git installed in Bash on Windows/Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) from Windows and Visual Studio Code (VSCode) The primary reason for this tool is to make the Git plugin in Visual Studio Code (VSCode) work with the git command installed in WSL. For these two to interoperate, this tool translates paths between the Windows (C:\Foo\Bar) and Linux (/mnt/c/Foo/Bar) representations. The install.bat script creates a folder structure similar to the one used by Git For Windows, and creates some useful symbolic links in the wslgit\cmd and wslgit\bin folders. VSCode will find the git executable automatically if the two optional installation steps were taken. -

git-cola
git-cola: The highly caffeinated Git GUI
Git Cola is a sleek and powerful graphical user interface for Git. Git Cola is free software and written in Python (v2 + v3). Git Cola uses QtPy, so you can choose between PyQt6, PyQt5 and PySide2 by setting the QT_API environment variable to pyqt6, pyqt5 or pyside2 as desired. qtpy defaults to pyqt6 and falls back to pyqt6 and pyside2 if pyqt5 is not installed. Git Cola enables additional features when the following Python modules are installed. send2trash enables cross-platform "Send to Trash" functionality. Never run pip install or make install as root or outside of a Python virtualenv! If you don't have PyQt installed then the easiest way to get it is to use a Python virtualenv and install Git Cola into it in "editable" mode. This install method lets you upgrade Git Cola by running git pull. -

git-tfs
A Git/TFS bridge, similar to git-svn
git-tfs is a two-way bridge between TFS (Team Foundation Server) and git, similar to git-svn. It fetches TFS commits into a git repository, and lets you push your updates back to TFS. git-tfs is a two-way bridge between TFS and git, similar to git-svn. If the build fails to build some GitTfs.Vs201x projects, just unload in Visual Studio all the projects you are not interested in to be able to build and use your own version. You could also install, the Team Foundation Server Object Model for Tfs 2012 (chocolatey) and Tfs 2013 (chocolatey). -

gitjacker
Leak git repositories from misconfigured websites
Leak git repositories from misconfigured websites. Gitjacker downloads git repositories and extracts their contents from sites where the .git directory has been mistakenly uploaded. It will still manage to recover a significant portion of a repository even where directory listings are disabled. For educational/penetration testing use only. You will need to have git installed to use Gitjacker. -

gitoxide
An idiomatic, lean, fast & safe pure Rust implementation of Git
An idiomatic, lean, fast & safe pure Rust implementation of Git. gix is a command-line interface (CLI) to access git repositories. It's written to optimize the user experience and perform as well or better than the canonical implementation. Furthermore, it provides an easy and safe to use API in the form of various small crates for implementing your own tools in a breeze. Please see 'Development Status' for a listing of all crates and their capabilities. Please note that all functionality comes from the gitoxide-core library, which mirrors these capabilities and itself relies on all git-* crates. Limit the number of threads used in operations that support it. Choose between 'human' and 'JSON' output formats. Display general information about the index itself, with detailed extension information by default and detailed information about the TREE extension. Follow the linked crate name for detailed status. -

hub
Extension to command-line git for GitHub
hub is an extension to command-line git that helps you do everyday GitHub tasks without ever leaving the terminal. Hub is a tool that wraps git in order to extend it with extra functionality that makes it better when working with GitHub. Available commands are split into two groups: those that are already present in git but that are extended through hub, and custom ones that hub provides. Most hub commands are supposed to be run in a context of an existing local git repository. Hub will automatically detect the GitHub repository that the current working directory belongs to by scanning its git remotes. In case there are multiple git remotes that are all pointing to GitHub, hub assumes that the main one is named "upstream", "github", or "origin", in that order of preference. -

isomorphic-git
A pure JavaScript implementation of git for node and browsers!
A pure JavaScript implementation of git for node and browsers! Clone repos, create commits, push branches and more in client-side JS. It uses the same on-disk format as git so it works with existing repos. isomorphic-git is a pure JavaScript implementation of git that works in node and browser environments (including WebWorkers and ServiceWorkers). This means it can be used to read and write to git repositories, as well as fetch from and push to git remotes like GitHub. isomorphic-git aims for 100% interoperability with the canonical git implementation. This means it does all its operations by modifying files in a ".git" directory just like the git you are used to. The included isogit CLI can operate on git repositories on your desktop or server. isomorphic-git aims to be a complete solution with no assembly required. The API has been designed with modern tools like Rollup and Webpack in mind. -

n
Node version management
Node.js version management: no subshells, no profile setup, no convoluted API, just simple. n is not supported natively on Windows. There are a variety of ways of specifying the target Node.js version for n commands. Most commands use the latest matching version, and n ls-remote lists multiple matching versions. n downloads a prebuilt Node.js package and installs to a single prefix (e.g. /usr/local). This overwrites the previous version. The bin folder in this location should be in your PATH (e.g. /usr/local/bin). The downloads are kept in a cache folder to be used for reinstalls. The downloads are also available for limited use using n which and n run and n exec. The global npm packages are not changed by the install, with the exception of npm itself which is part of the Node.js install. -

Gitinspector
The statistical analysis tool for git repositories
Gitinspector is a statistical analysis tool for git repositories. The default analysis shows general statistics per author, which can be complemented with a timeline analysis that shows the workload and activity of each author. Under normal operation, it filters the results to only show statistics about a number of given extensions and by default only includes source files in the statistical analysis. This tool was originally written to help fetch repository statistics from student projects in the course Object-oriented Programming Project (TDA367/DIT211) at Chalmers University of Technology and Gothenburg University. Shows cumulative work by each author in history. Filters results by an extension (default: java,c,cc,cpp,h,hh,hpp,py,glsl,rb,js, SQL). Can display a statistical timeline analysis. Scans for all filetypes (by extension) found in the repository. Multi-threaded; uses multiple instances of git to speed up analysis when possible. -
23
Husky
Git hooks made easy
Husky is a tool that makes handling Git hooks a lot easier, and lets you run the scripts you want at those stages. It works by including an object right within your package.json file. This then configures Husky so that it runs the scripts you specify. After that, it's Husky's responsibility to manage at which point in the Git lifecycle your scripts will run. Husky helps to improve your commits, lets you run tests, lint code and more when you commit or push. It is very lightweight, with zero dependencies and is capable of supporting all Git hooks. -
24
Magit
A Git porcelain inside Emacs
Magit is a complete text-based user interface to Git. It fills the glaring gap between the Git command-line interface and various GUIs, letting you perform trivial as well as elaborate version control tasks with just a couple of mnemonic key presses. Magit looks like a prettified version of what you get after running a few Git commands but in Magit every bit of visible information is also actionable to an extent that goes far beyond what any Git GUI provides and it takes care of automatically refreshing this output when it becomes outdated. In the background Magit just runs Git commands and if you wish you can see what exactly is being run, making it possible for you to learn the git command-line by using Magit. Using Magit for a while will make you a more effective version control user. Magit supports and streamlines the use of Git features that most users and developers of other Git clients apparently thought could not be reasonably mapped to a non-command-line interface. -
25
QtPass
QtPass is a multi-platform GUI for pass, the standard unix password
QtPass is part of the pass ecosystem. This means you are not stuck with QtPass, you can use the same password store with many clients. Password management should be simple and follow Unix philosophy. With pass, each password lives inside of a gpg encrypted file whose filename is the title of the website or resource that requires the password. These encrypted files may be organized into meaningful folder hierarchies, copied from computer to computer, and, in general, manipulated using standard command line file management utilities. Contrary to many Free, Libre and OpenSource password managers, pass and by extension QtPass are not bound to one user or device. Since we are based on GnuPG we have multi-key, multi recipient encryption out of the box. The use of external encryption devices like OpenPGP or x509/CMS based smartcards or USB tokens and per-folder ACL makes it easy to grant or take away privileges from users.
