The easiest way to use git. On any platform. Anywhere.

• Clean and intuitive UI that makes it easy to understand git.
• Runs on any platform that node.js & git supports.
• Web-based, meaning you can run it on your cloud/pure shell machine and use the ui from your browser (just browse to https://your-cloud-machine.com:8448).
• Works well with GitHub.
• Gerrit integration (view, checkout and push changes from/to gerrit).

Quick intro to ungit: https://youtu.be/hkBVAi3oKvo

Requires node.js (≥ 0.10), npm (≥ 1.3.1) and git.

npm install -g ungit

Anywhere you want to start, just type:

ungit

This will launch the server and open up a browser with the ui.

You can help out by enabling bugtracking in the config (set "bugtracking": true, see config section below): this will make ungit send an anonymous bugreport every time it crashes, which makes it much easier to know what problems users are experiencing.

Put a configuration file called .ungitrc in your home directory (/home/USERNAME on *nix, C:/Users/USERNAME/ on windows). Can be in either json or ini format. See source/config.js for available options.

Example of ~/.ungitrc configuration file to change default port and enable bugtracking:

{
	"port": 8080,
	"bugtracking": true
}

If you decide to install by cloning the repo, make sure to run npm install then grunt after cloning (to fetch dependencies, build concatenated files and compile less). If you haven't already, you can install grunt by running npm install -g grunt-cli.

Once you've done that, you can start ungit by running npm start. Run the tests with npm test.
