A git-cola development repository can be obtained via git:
git clone git://github.com/davvid/git-cola.git
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.
Compare changes using common merge tools.
The git repository browser. Shows branches, commit history and file differences. gitk is the utility started by git-cola's Repository Visualize actions.
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.
