## What it is
GitX is a native Mac OS X git GUI, a gitk clone with a history viewer and a commit GUI supporting hunk- and line-wise staging. It integrates with OS X features like QuickLook and drag-and-drop, and includes a 'gitx' command-line binary.

## Use cases
- browse git repository history visually on mac
- view diffs of any revision in a native mac app
- stage commits hunk by hunk or line by line
- search commits by author or subject
- explore the file tree of any revision and preview files
- run gitx from the terminal with rev-list arguments

## When to choose
- you want a native, lightweight git history viewer on macOS
- you prefer gitk-style visualization but with an Aqua interface
- you need QuickLook and drag-and-drop integration for repository files

## When to avoid
- you need a cross-platform git client
- you require actively developed features or modern macOS support
- you work on Linux or Windows
