SmartGit 3.0.5

SmartGit is a user-friendly and free for non-commercial use graphical front-end  client for Git (a distributed version control system), designed to run on all major platforms. 

SmartGit was created for users who need to handle a number of related files in a directory structure, to synchronize access to these files in a multi-user environment, and to easily track any changes to them.

SmartGit main audience are developers who favor a graphical user interface over a command line one, to be even more productive with Git — the most robust DVCS today.

Representative areas of application include documentation, software, and website projects.

Here are some key features of "SmartGit":

· Everything Under Control: The SmartGit project window gives you an optimal overview of the current state of the project.
· Simplicity: SmartGit makes Git's powerful features easy to use by hiding Git's complexity.
· Graphical Log: The graphical log shows the change history of the whole project or of a single file.
· Out-of-the-Box: SmartGit only requires a Java Runtime Environment and a Git or Mercurial installation on your system, nothing more.
· Integration with popular webservices: Cloning in SmartGit has been streamlined for hosting providers like GitHub, to allow you to get started quickly and with little effort.

Requirements:

· Java

Fixed Bugs:

· Compare: internal error quickly performing take-block actions
