Is there a web-based git client? [solved, kindof]
I'm looking for a web-based client, like git gui for choosing files to stage and to make commits. The actual files in the git repo would be edited elsewhere, so that is taken care of, but my google-fu is letting me down in this endeavour of finding the actual client.
There is a metric ton of repo browsers, and that would be fine, as long as they also could show status and diffs from a git repo and being able to commit.
Anyone have any pointers to anything a web git client? Thanks!
Are you looking for something like GitKraken? It’s electron based, not sure if that’s what you meant.
5Only if it doesn't need to be run in electron and can be embedded in a webpage, running with a git repo local to the kraken installation.

Not sure I understand the use case and why something like VS Code's Git UI (or some other GUI) cannot solve the problem. Why does it need to be web-based, for example?
5It will be used to put changes to n8n workflows into git repos. The n8n software is in the browser, and I can extract the workspaces and write them to a directory on the server, but the n8n users will not have access to this directory, nor are they especially well versed on git. Simple staging and commiting would be ok though.
Found a long list of git clients and among them found git webcommit and ungit, which seems to fit the bill. Still browsing the list, so haven't had the time to try them out yet :)

There is
git instawebcommand, which runs gitweb for current repo using a specified web server (apache2, lighttpd, mongoose, plackup, python and webrick are supported), and starts a browser. Though gitweb is slightly (or more than slightly) dated, and what is more important, read only.You can see (modified) gitweb in action on https://repo.or.cz/
1Yeah, tried that first, but the read onlyness was a slight problem :)
