Git Credential Manager
Secure, cross-platform Git credential storage with authentication
Git Credential Manager (GCM) is a secure Git credential helper built on .NET that runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. It aims to provide a consistent and secure authentication experience, including multi-factor auth, to every major source control hosting service and platform. GCM supports (in alphabetical order) Azure DevOps, Azure DevOps Server (formerly Team Foundation Server), Bitbucket, GitHub, and GitLab. Compare to Git's built-in credential helpers (Windows: wincred, macOS: osxkeychain, Linux: gnome-keyring/libsecret), which provide single-factor authentication support for username/password only. GCM replaces both the .NET Framework-based Git Credential Manager for Windows and the Java-based Git Credential Manager for Mac and Linux. Git Credential Manager is currently available for Windows, macOS, and Linux*. GCM only works with HTTP(S) remotes; you can still use Git with SSH. -

Git Large File Storage
Git extension for versioning large files
An open source Git extension for versioning large files. Git Large File Storage (LFS) replaces large files such as audio samples, videos, datasets, and graphics with text pointers inside Git, while storing the file contents on a remote server like GitHub.com or GitHub Enterprise. Download and install the Git command line extension. Once downloaded and installed, set up Git LFS for your user account. In each Git repository where you want to use Git LFS, select the file types you'd like Git LFS to manage (or directly edit your .gitattributes). You can configure additional file extensions at any time. Host more in your Git repositories. External file storage makes it easy to keep your repository at a manageable size. Download less data. This means faster cloning and fetching from repositories that deal with large files. Work like you always do on Git, no need for additional commands, secondary storage systems, or toolsets. -

Logseq
A privacy-first, open-source platform for knowledge management
Logseq is a privacy-first, open-source knowledge base that works on top of local plain-text Markdown and Org-mode files. Use it to write, organize and share your thoughts, keep your to-do list, and build your own digital garden. Logseq is a platform for knowledge management and collaboration. It focuses on privacy, longevity, and user control. The server will never store or analyze your private notes. Your data are plain text files and we currently support both Markdown and Emacs Org-mode (more to be added soon). In the unlikely event that the website is down or cannot be maintained, your data is, and will always be yours. No data lock-in, no proprietary formats, you can edit the same Markdown/Org-mode file with any tools at the same time. Connect your [[ideas]] and [[thoughts]] with Logseq. Your knowledge graph grows just as your brain generates and connects neurons from new knowledge and ideas. -

opam
opam is a source-based package manager
Opam is a source-based package manager for OCaml. It supports multiple simultaneous compiler installations, flexible package constraints, and a Git-friendly development workflow. Opam was created and is maintained by OCamlPro. To get started, checkout the Install and Usage guides. Run ./configure. If you don't have the dependencies installed, this will locally take care of all OCaml dependencies for you (downloading them, unless you used the inclusive archive we provide for each release). This is all you need for installing and using opam, but if you want to use the opam-lib (to work on opam-related tools), you need to link it to installed libraries. It's easier to already have a working opam installation in this case, so you can do it as a second step. If you install on your system (without changing the prefix), you will need to install as root (sudo). As sudo do not propagate environment variables, there wil be some errors. -

simple-git-hooks
A simple git hooks manager for small projects
A simple git hooks manager for small projects. A git hook is a command or script that is going to be run every time you perform a git action, like git commit or git push. If the execution of a git hook fails, then the git action aborts. For example, if you want to run linter on every commit to ensure code quality in your project, then you can create a pre-commit hook that would call npx lint-staged. Check out lint-staged. It works really well with simple-git-hooks. You can look up about git hooks on the Pro Git book. simple-git-hooks works well for small-sized projects when you need quickly set up hooks and forget about it. However, this package requires you to manually apply the changes to git hooks. If you update them often, this is probably not the best choice. Also, this package allows you to set only one command per git hook. -

commitlint
Lint commit messages
commitlint checks if your commit messages meet the conventional commit format. commitlint helps your team adhere to a commit convention. By supporting npm-installed configurations it makes sharing of commit conventions easy. We're not a sponsored OSS project. Therefore we can't promise that we will release patch versions for older releases in a timely manner. If you are stuck on an older version and need a security patch we're happy if you can provide a PR. If something in between fails (like a new packages was added and needs to be published for the first time but you forgot) you can use lerna publish from-package to publish anythign that has not been published yet. We identify ease of adoption and developer experience as fields where there is room and need for improvement. The items on the roadmap should enhance commitlint regarding those aspects. -

posh-git
A PowerShell environment for Git
posh-git is a PowerShell module which provides Git/PowerShell integration. The prompt within Git repositories can show the current branch and the state of files (additions, modifications, deletions) within. Provides tab completion for common commands when using git. Prompt formatting, among other things, can be customized. Displaying file status in the git prompt for a very large repo can be prohibitively slow. Rather than turn off file status entirely, you can disable it on a repo-by-repo basis by adding individual repository paths. PowerShell generates its prompt by executing a prompt function, if one exists. posh-git defines such a function in profile.example.ps1 that outputs the current working directory followed by an abbreviated git status. -

ripgrep
Regex pattern directory search tool that respects your .gitignore
ripgrep is a line-oriented search tool that actively searches the directory you're currently in for a regex pattern. By default, ripgrep will ignore your .gitignore and skip hidden files or directories and binary files automatically. ripgrep has first class support on Windows, macOS and Linux, with binary downloads available for every release. ripgrep is similar to other popular search tools like The Silver Searcher, ack and grep. ripgrep supports arbitrary input preprocessing filters which could be PDF text extraction, less supported decompression, decrypting, automatic encoding detection and so on. In other words, use ripgrep if you like speed, filtering by default, fewer bugs and Unicode support. -

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. -

ungit
A tool to simplify the use of git, on any platform, anywhere
Git is known for being a versatile distributed source control system that is a staple of many individuals, communities, and even for the City of Chattanooga to crowd source bicycle parking locations. However, it is not known for userfriendliness or easy learning curve. Ungit brings user friendliness to git without sacrificing the versatility of git. Git and github both supports PGP signing. Within Ungit these features can be enabled. Currently, Ungit DOES NOT support GPG authentication! While git allows robust programmatic authentication via credential-helper, I could not find an easy way to do something equivalent with GPG. Therefore, password-less gpg authentication or 3rd party gpg password must be configured when using Ungit to commit with gpg. Ungit will watch git directory recursively upon page view and automatically refresh contents on git operations or changes on files that are not configured to be ignored in .gitignore. -

Gitea
A painless self-hosted Git service
Gitea - Git with a cup of tea - is the fastest, easiest, most hassle-free way of setting up a self-hosted Git service. It is a community-managed lightweight code hosting solution that has very minimal requirements and is very easy to install. Written in Go, it can run on any platform Go can compile for including Windows, Linux, macOS, ARM and PowerPC architectures. Gitea was originally forked from the Gogs project in 2016, but has since drastically evolved into the project that it is today. -

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. 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. -

LazyGit
Simple terminal UI for git commands
You've heard it before, git is powerful, but what good is that power when everything is so damn hard to do? Interactive rebasing requires you to edit a goddamn TODO file in your editor? Are you kidding me? To stage part of a file you need to use a command-line program to step through each hunk and if a hunk can't be split down any further but contains code you don't want to stage, you have to edit an arcane patch file by hand? Are you KIDDING me?! Sometimes you get asked to stash your changes when switching branches only to realize that after you switch and unstash that there weren't even any conflicts and it would have been fine to just check out the branch directly? If you're a mere mortal like me and you're tired of hearing how powerful git is when in your daily life it's a powerful pain in your ass, lazygit might be for you. -
