 419 <h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
 420 <div class="sectionbody">
 421 <div class="paragraph"><p>A Tcl/Tk based graphical user interface to Git.  <em>git gui</em> focuses
 422 on allowing users to make changes to their repository by making
 423 new commits, amending existing ones, creating branches, performing
 424 local merges, and fetching/pushing to remote repositories.</p></div>
 425 <div class="paragraph"><p>Unlike <em>gitk</em>, <em>git gui</em> focuses on commit generation
 426 and single file annotation and does not show project history.
 427 It does however supply menu actions to start a <em>gitk</em> session from
 428 within <em>git gui</em>.</p></div>
 429 <div class="paragraph"><p><em>git gui</em> is known to work on all popular UNIX systems, Mac OS X,
 430 and Windows (under both Cygwin and MSYS).  To the extent possible
 431 OS specific user interface guidelines are followed, making <em>git gui</em>
 432 a fairly native interface for users.</p></div>
