What Are Git Viewers?

Git viewers take raw Git data and present it visually. Instead of reading text in your terminal, you see interactive, color-coded documents.

The Viewer Family

All Git viewers inherit from a common foundation. This means:
  • Consistent look and feel across all viewers
  • Same keyboard shortcuts work everywhere
  • Settings apply to all viewers at once
