Random notes about Gitg that will eventually go live...

* Gitg gives git integration in the GNOME developer experience.

what makes gitg so special from other git gui clients?

• It is a gnome GUI client
• Both from a technical point of view (it runs on gnome uses gtk3 etc) and from a design point of view, focus on user experience, use of gnome3 design patterns etc
• There are not that many git gui clients and the few good ones are for OSX.

Shared vision for gitg is made of the following goals:

• create a user friendly, but powerful git UI
• make it integrate nicely in gnome
• help define ui patterns and shared code which could be used later in a gnome-ide project
• it also often helps to define the project in terms of alternative apps that are in the same segment

so I think that gitg should compete with things like "git tower" on osx, gitX on osx and the newly released github GUI tool released for windows

• (Prepare libraries and a gnome3 application to manage git repositories. This could then be reused and integrated in the future Gnome IDE)
