Open Source Python Version Control Software

Diffuse is a graphical tool for comparing and merging text files. It can retrieve files for comparison from Bazaar, CVS, Darcs, Git, Mercurial, Monotone, RCS, Subversion, and SVK repositories.

Gitinspector is a statistical analysis tool for git repositories. The default analysis shows general statistics per author, which can be complemented with a timeline analysis that shows the workload and activity of each author. Under normal operation, it filters the results to only show statistics about a number of given extensions and by default only includes source files in the statistical analysis. This tool was originally written to help fetch repository statistics from student projects in the course Object-oriented Programming Project (TDA367/DIT211) at Chalmers University of Technology and Gothenburg University. Shows cumulative work by each author in history. Filters results by an extension (default: java,c,cc,cpp,h,hh,hpp,py,glsl,rb,js, SQL). Can display a statistical timeline analysis. Scans for all filetypes (by extension) found in the repository. Multi-threaded; uses multiple instances of git to speed up analysis when possible.

PyGitHub is a Python library to access the GitHub REST API. This library enables you to manage GitHub resources such as repositories, user profiles, and organizations in your Python applications. PyGithub is a Python library to use the Github API v3. With it, you can manage your Github resources (repositories, user profiles, organizations, etc.) from Python scripts. Should you have any question, any remark, or if you find a bug, or if there is something you can do with the API but not with PyGithub, please open an issue.

A convenient command-line tool helping you keep repositories clean. Supports deletion of both local and remote branches. Detects multiple forms of de-facto merges (rebase merges, squash merges (needs --effort=3), single or range cherry-picks… leveraging git cherry). Supports workflows with multiple release branches, e.g. only delete branches that have been merged to all of master, dev and staging. Quick interactive configuration. Provider agnostic: Works with GitHub, GitLab, Gitea and any other Git hosting. Takes safety seriously. Deletion is a sharp knife that requires care. While git reflog would have your back in most cases, git-delete-merged-branches takes safety seriously. git push is used with --force-with-lease so if the server and you have a different understanding of that branch, it is not deleted. There is no use of os.system or shell code to go wrong.

Bundles Portable Python (with PyGTK) and Meld together in an easy to use installer. This allows you to not have to worry about setting up Python or PyGTK and you can keep Meld's Python separate from other Python installations on your machine. ** NOTE ** Meld 3.11 and later now have official installers, hence this project is no longer supported. You can download the new installer here: https://download.gnome.org/binaries/win32/meld/. You should uninstall the old 1.8 version before upgrading.

Opens a notebook, strips its output, and writes the outputless version to the original file. Useful mainly as a git filter or pre-commit hook for users who don't want to track output in VCS. This does mostly the same thing as the Clear All Output command in the notebook UI. You can download and install the latest version of nbstripout from PyPI, the Python package index. Strip output from IPython / Jupyter / Zeppelin notebook (modifies the file in-place). Usually, nbstripout is installed per repository so you can choose where to use it or not. You can choose to set the attributes in .gitattributes and commit this file to your repository, however there is no way to have git set up the filters automatically when someone clones a repository. This is by design, to prevent you from executing arbitrary and potentially malicious code when cloning a repository.

Git Cola is a sleek and powerful graphical user interface for Git. Git Cola is free software and written in Python (v2 + v3). Git Cola uses QtPy, so you can choose between PyQt6, PyQt5 and PySide2 by setting the QT_API environment variable to pyqt6, pyqt5 or pyside2 as desired. qtpy defaults to pyqt6 and falls back to pyqt6 and pyside2 if pyqt5 is not installed. Git Cola enables additional features when the following Python modules are installed. send2trash enables cross-platform "Send to Trash" functionality. Never run pip install or make install as root or outside of a Python virtualenv! If you don't have PyQt installed then the easiest way to get it is to use a Python virtualenv and install Git Cola into it in "editable" mode. This install method lets you upgrade Git Cola by running git pull.

The CvsGui project is providing several high-end interface clients (WinCvs, MacCvs, gCvs) written in C++ using popular frameworks (MFC, PowerPlant, GTK+) with a scripting support via Python or TCL.

Sublime Text plugin providing probably all git has to offer. Sublime Text 2 is not supported. Also, GitSavvy takes advantage of modern features of Sublime Text (like annotations). For the best experience, use the latest Sublime Text dev build. The documentation is probably outdated. Yeah it's sad but you can contribute and I will eventually get onto it but every special view has help available, just press ?. GitSavvy requires Git versions at or greater than 2.18.0. basic Git functionality; init, add, commit, amend, checkout, pull, push, etc. Rebasing just from that "Repo History". Edit a commit, reword a commit, autosquash commits, apply a fixup, whatever... the [r] menu. git diff view, allowing user to stage, unstage and reset (discard) files, hunks or individual lines. GitHub-style blame view, showing hunk metadata and ability to view the commit that made the change.

Meld is a visual diff and merge tool designed to help users compare files, directories, and version-controlled projects with clarity and precision. It supports two-way and three-way comparisons, making it especially useful for reviewing code changes and resolving merge conflicts. Meld provides live comparison updates, allowing users to see differences immediately as files are edited. With built-in navigation tools, users can move quickly between changes and work directly on specific change blocks. The tool integrates with many popular version control systems, helping developers better understand patches and project history. Widely used on Linux and available for Windows, Meld is a reliable solution for managing and understanding differences in code and files.

PyScaffold is a project generator for bootstrapping high-quality Python packages, ready to be shared on PyPI and installable via pip. It is easy to use and encourages the adoption of the best tools and practices of the Python ecosystem, helping you and your team to stay sane, happy and productive. The best part? It is stable and has been used by thousands of developers for over half a decade! Checkout out this demo project, which was set up using PyScaffold and if you are still not convinced yet, also have a look at these reasons to use PyScaffold. After cd-ing into your new project and creating (or activating) an isolated development environment (with virtualenv, conda or your preferred tool), you can do the usual editable install. All configuration can be done in setup.cfg like changing the description, URL, classifiers, installation requirements and so on as defined by setuptools. That means in most cases it is not necessary to tamper with setup.py.

Tracking a Xcode project in a version control system is annoying. Simply adding files can lead to merge conflicts that have to be solved manually, although it would be possible to resolve the conflict automatically if the merge algorithm would be aware of the structure of Xcode's project file. After long and annoying merge sessions in one of my projects, I came to the conclusion, that writing a merge driver for git which understands the structure of the project file would be a worthwhile endeavour, as it would save me from solving the merge conflicts for my co-workers. Unfortunately, that script was finished only after the project ended. However, as I didn't want to let the work go to waste, this script is now published as open source under the GNU GPL 3. This script needs knowledge about the structure of Xcode's project. However, there doesn't seem to be any documentation (and I would be surprised if there were any).

TortoiseHg is a shell extension that let users of Mercurial SCM (Hg) work directly from MS-Windows Explorer. It also includes a command line tool, hgtk, for use on Linux and other platforms.

KPSK - An easy to use PSK31 terminal program for amateur (ham) radio.

A-A-P helps you with distributed development of software. Install a program on your system, obtain the sources and make modifications, manage multiple versions of the same project, distribute packages and much more. A-A-P runs on many operating systems.

Albedo is an open-source recommender system aimed at helping developers discover GitHub repositories by learning from activity signals. It treats repositories and developers as a graph of interactions and applies large-scale matrix factorization to model affinities, with Apache Spark providing the distributed data processing. The project focuses on implicit feedback—stars, watches, and other engagement metrics—so it can build useful recommendations without explicit ratings. A reproducible setup and Makefile-driven workflow streamline tasks like spinning up services, loading datasets, training models, and generating candidate lists. Because it’s built around Spark’s scalable primitives, Albedo can experiment on substantial snapshots of GitHub metadata rather than toy corpora. The repo is also educational: it demonstrates a practical end-to-end pipeline from ingestion and feature preparation to training and ranking.

Build System for Java offers an enhanced build environment that ties together deployment instructions, environment configuration and source code as a releaseable entity. A new paradigm for configuration management!

CMGlue (Configuration Management Glue) is a better git-submodule, to manage a workspace which may contains multiple components that may from various version control tools such as Git and SVN (Subversion), or even just from a shared folder.
