Python Qt4 frontend for git filter-branch.

Formerly qGitFilterBranch.

“ If there’s something strange / In your history / Who you gonna call ? / GitBuster! “

Python Qt4 frontend for git filter-branch. gitbuster allows you to :

• use filters to display only the commits matching

  • committed before/after a date (e.g. commits before 01/01/11)

  • committed before/after a weekday (e.g. commits after friday)

  • committed before/after an hour (e.g. commits after 20:00)

  • the log message contains some string (e.g. matching “CHANGEME”)

  • the user/email contains some string (e.g. matching “wrong.email@”)

• edit the displayed commits to change

  • the authored/committed date

  • the author/committer name and email

  • the log message

• change multiple values at once

• automatically re-order a given set of commits onto a given set of time ranges
