h2. This original work is no longer active
A much improved version/fork is available at https://github.com/laullon/gitx *”GitX (L)”* or https://github.com/rowanj/gitx *”GitX-dev”*.
h2. GitX
GitX is a git GUI specifically for Mac OS X. It currently features a history viewer much like gitk and a commit GUI like git gui. But then in silky smooth OS X style! User-relevant information can be found on the <a href=”http://gitx.frim.nl”>GitX Homepage</a>.
h2. Download
The newest version of GitX is 0.7.1. This version can be downloaded from <a href=”http://gitx.frim.nl/Downloads/GitXStable.app.zip”>here</a>.
The development head can be found “here”:http://github.com/pieter/gitx/tree/master. You’ll need XCode to build GitX. If you’re adventurous, you could try out other people’s forks as well.
h2. Helping Out
You can help in a couple of ways:
Start developing! Just clone the source and let me know what you made. Before you do, do please read Submitting Changes
Help out without developing. You don’t need to know Objective-C to help. Here are a few things you can do:
Create nice color schemes. The current colors for the labels, the branch lines and the diff view could be improved
Make the diff viewer pretty. This thing is all in JavaScript / HTML so should be easy to do. Here is a description to get you started.
Use it and *”file bugs”:http://gitx.lighthouseapp.com/projects/17830-gitx*. If I don’t hear about it, I won’t fix it :)
h2. When changing the XIB’s
If you are going to change the interface, PLEASE use XCode 3.1. XCode 3.1 actually produces xibs that are mergeable, in contrast to previous XCode versions.
