NAME

       git-cola - A highly caffeinated git GUI

SYNOPSIS

       git cola [options]

DESCRIPTION

       git-cola is a powerful git GUI written in Python. It has many unique
       features that make git’s advanced features simple and accessible.

       See below for a full list of options and usage information.

OPTIONS

       --classic
           Launch the standalone cola classic tool.

       -r, --repo=<path>
           Run git-cola on the git repository in <path>. Defaults to the
           current directory.

       -s, --style=<style>
           Launch git-cola with a different stylesheet.

       -v, --version
           Prints the git-cola version and exits.

       -g, --git-path
           Specifies the path to the git binary.

GUI STYLES

           The number of diff context lines used and displayed by git-cola

       gui.editor
           The default text editor is controlled by gui.editor. The config
           variable overrides the EDITOR environment variable.

           Your email address to be recorded in any newly created commits. Can
           be overridden by the GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL, GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL, and
           EMAIL environment variables. See linkgit:git-commit-tree[1].

       user.name
           Your full name to be recorded in any newly created commits. Can be
           overridden by the GIT_AUTHOR_NAME and GIT_COMMITTER_NAME
           environment variables. See linkgit:git-commit-tree[1].
       See linkgit:git-config[1] for more details.

           config variable gui.editor is defined.

       GIT_PYTHON_TRACE
           When defined, prints git commands and status to the terminal. Print
           more information when set to the value full.

       GIT_COLA_TRACE
           When defined, git-cola outputs the git commands it executes into
           the Command Output log viewer.

SOURCE

       A git-cola development repository can be obtained via git:

           git clone git://github.com/davvid/git-cola.git

GUI THEMES

       git-cola ships with an alternative stylesheet called dark. You can use
       this stylesheet by running git cola --style=dark.

       You can also skin git-cola by providing your own Qt stylesheet. E.g.
       git cola --style=/path/to/style.qss.

       Built-in styles can be found in /usr/share/git-cola/styles.

       git-cola is independently developed from the linkgit:git[7] suite, but
       you can use it just like any other git command, e.g. git cola.
