iCubes Git Tricks

Add this to your ~/.gitconfig

[color]
  branch = auto
  diff = auto
  status = auto

Especially the git status color are super-useful!

sudo apt-get install gitg

Then do gitg from your repository. You will get nice GUI for browsing history and committing changes.

Doing git config --global color.ui true in command line should be easier than editing the file directly.

Also, all Git GUIs (except probably GitHub's) do the same thing, but you have to click stuff instead. 😱

Yeah but I tried gitg and I really like it, unlike the others. Also it's very simple to use which is a big plus.
