Git Cola is a sleek and powerful graphical user interface for Git. Git Cola is free software and written in Python (v2 + v3). The editor used by Ctrl-e is configured from the Preferences screen. The environment variable $VISUAL is consulted when no editor has been configured. Configuring your editor to gvim -f -p will open multiple tabs when editing files. gvim -f -o uses splits. When you select a line in the grep screen and press any of Enter, Ctrl-e, or the Edit button, you are taken to that exact line. Git Cola has many useful keyboard shortcuts. Many of Git Cola’s editors understand vim-style hotkeys, eg. {h,j,k,l} for navigating in the diff, status, grep, and file browser widgets. The Git Cola interface is composed of various cooperating tools. Double-clicking a tool opens it in its own subwindow. Dragging it around moves and places it within the main window. Tools can be hidden and rearranged however you like. Git Cola carefully remembers your window layout and restores it.
