A terminal-based GUI client for Git
Project description
Features
Giterm brings information about the current status of your Git working copy right in your terminal, real-time.
It shows in a single view:
local branches, and which branch you’re currently on
remote branches, and which branch the current local branch is tracking
commit history, and which commit you are currently working from
current changes
a diff view of the selected file in the changes list
Real-time!
Every change to the working copy (file edition/move or any Git command) refreshes the GUI instantly. You can work as usual, and keep a terminal open with giterm to get visual feedback on your actions.
Giterm essentially shows Git information. It does not support git actions like commit, checkout, branch switching, committing. Only staging is supported at this time.

pip install giterm
If you don’t have pip installed yet:

Requirements
Giterm needs the git executable to be installed and available in the PATH of your system. Others dependencies should be automatically handled by pip.
Technical background
Giterm uses subprocesses to call Git shell-based commands, and parses their outputs to bring the relevant information to the user interface.
It also uses a watchdog to listen file changes in the current working directory.
