OS X tool for animating Git commands on local repository?

Question

Question

OS X: Is there a tool for OS X that visualizes my Git commands on my local Git repositories with animations?

I'm not looking for a Git client, such as SourceTree, which can visualize the branches.

Examples

Web: LearnGitBranching visualizes Git commands with beautiful animations.

Windows: SeeGit visualizes Git commands on one's own repositories with nice animations.

I'm looking for something similar for OS X.

Answer 1

There are a number of GUI git clients for OS X, but none feature the animation that either of your Windows or Web examples provide.

Most, if not all, feature a email app-esque interface, with a list pane on the left, along with a submissions list pane, and then a couple of central panes for the current edit item. The main contenders of this type of GUI are (in no particular order):

• GitHub;
• GitX - various forks - GitX - Rowanj, GitX (L), or GitX - Pieter;
• Tower;
• SourceTree;
• Gitbox.

I would imagine that you have seen these GUI app roundups already, but I will list them here:

• Git GUI Clients for OS X - A basic text only review site, recommends SourceTree, and GitHub for beginners

• The Best Mac Git Gui - A good review, with screenshots - recommends GitX - Rowanj

So, in short, so far, there is not a native animated git app for OS X... yet.

Of course, while you wait for a native app to be developed, you could always easily wrap your Windows based SeeGit example in a Wineskin so that you can run it on OS X.
