GIT-CITOOL(1)

✨ NAME ✨

git-citool — the graphical glow-up alternative to git-commit 💅

okay bestie, welcome to GIT-CITOOL(1), from the Git Manual, no cap 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

git citool

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe: git-citool is a Tcl/Tk based graphical interface that lets you do the whole commit ritual with your eyeballs instead of your keyboard fr fr. What does it let you do, you ask? Let's break it down like a group chat:

• review modified files 👀 — see what you changed, no more git status squinting
• stage them into the index 🎀 — pick and choose what actually goes in, iconic behaviour
• enter a commit message ✍️ — say what you mean, main character energy
• record the new commit onto the current branch 🔥 — and boom, it's in the history

This interface is literally an alternative to the less interactive git commit program. Less typing, more clicking, we love that for us 💖

And here's the tea: git citool is actually a standard alias for git gui citool. That's it. That's the whole thing. So if you want the full deets, go read git-gui(1) — it's giving "read the sequel for more lore" 📖✨

Part of the git(1) suite 🫶 she's one of the family, bestie.

Quick vibe check: it's a GUI, so it wants Tcl/Tk to actually run. git citool → git gui citool → everything you need to know lives in git-gui(1). iykyk 🌈
