GitNub is a Mac-native Gitk-like application built with RubyCocoa for quickly viewing information about a git repository. It is launched from the shell via a `nub` helper command inside a git directory.

Use cases

  • visualize git repository history on mac
  • gitk alternative for macos
  • quickly inspect a git repo with a native mac app
  • browse git commits graphically
  • view git branch history in a gui

When to choose

  • you are on macOS (Leopard-era) with RubyCocoa installed and want a lightweight native git history viewer
  • you prefer a Gitk-style tool with a Mac look and feel

When to avoid

  • you need a maintained tool - the last release was in 2015 and it targets old macOS/RubyCocoa
  • you are on Linux or Windows
  • you need modern git features or full repository management beyond history viewing
