I wish there was UI that I could just point at a repository locally and get a GitHub-like view of the repository, where I can browse all the files, see their last commit date/message, click on them, and see the contents as well as history and git blame. I keep hoping someone will build a GitHub UI without having to use GitHub but for some reason every one of these Git UIs focus on just showing me the commit history and diffs. This is useful too but it's not really much different from all the other apps that do this.

Git has an included web server that covers a lot of this: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-on-the-Server-GitWeb https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-on-the-Server-GitWeb

  Yeah kind of like this, but without having to use a browser. I guess I could wrap Electron around this, but groan.

>point it at a repository locally and get a GitHub-like view of the repository, where I can browse all the files, see their last commit date/message, click on them, and see the contents as well as history and git blame You can do pretty much all of these things with Sublime Merge 2, so?

  I haven't seen something like Github's file browser in Sublime Merge. That is, where I can browse ALL the files in a particular branch, just like on Github. Maybe I haven't dug in enough if this exists.

    Select the Tree view. It will show all dirs/files in the branch from the selected commit (e.g. HEAD).

  I don't think so. At first glance, the file browser is only showing files that were part of the commit selected. He wants to have a full file explorer like if you opened a Github repo and started clicking into directories. Unless there's an option to enable that somewhere that I'm missing.

    When you have a specific commit selected you can see in the Files tab at the bottom two buttons Changes and Tree. If you select Tree it will show you the tree for that commit. From there you can get the blame log or history for individual files.

      There it is. I stand corrected. Thanks for pointing that out. Merge is much quicker to navigate to specific points in time than GitHub and GitLab are, so this should be useful.

It doesn't do quite everything you asked for, but gitk fulfills a lot of that.

I use gogs for this, and s/Organization/Folder/ in the i18n. Doesn't get much closer to github-but-local than that I reckon.

Fork has an awesome UI/UX
