git file history browsing

is开发者_Go百科 there a way to browse the history versions (rather than the plain diff) in a git repo? i'm looking something like what you would expect from tortoiseSvn log/diff browser but for ubuntu. I don't want to see the diffs directly but rather the whole file with the version in its original context, with a highlight showing diffs from previous version

gitg does this, available through the repositories. There are other git visualizers but I don't know about them.

For gitg choose the commit in the branch, and then the 'tree' tab (next to 'details', which show the difference).

There is tortoiseGit. I would recommend on not cloning as much as I did with tortoiseSVN.

to follow up with koen, there is also gitk, also known as git-gui, which is the "official" gui git browser, and shows diffs on a per-commit basis, and commits in a tree, as well as qgit, which is quite similar, but with a qt interface.

to launch gitk, just type gitk ~/path/to/my/AWESOMEPROJECTOFAWESOME and browse away!

You may have to sudo apt-get install gitk depending on how you installed git.

I've been using gitup for the last few months, and aside from a few graphical quirks, it's been quite a pleasure to work with.
