Question

Is there a GUI for a bare git repo directory ( there is no working tree anywhere ) that I can:

• Check logs
• See the whole working tree structure for any commits

Regarding to why I need this:

My git is init as this:
git –git-dir=xx –work-tree=yy init ( Add/commit to bare repo from a non-git folder )

I couldn’t find a tool can work with this situation ( separated working tree and repo )

Answer 1

For your situation, you can do:

git --git-dir=xx --work-tree=yy gui

and visualize log etc.

Or, just clone the bare repo – git clone path/to/bare.git . and operate on that.

Note that you combine the -n and -l ( which is default for local clone anyway) you won’t get a working directory and also, the objects and refs are hard-linked and you don’t use up much space.
