Is there a way to do git commands from the Files manager in Ubuntu 16.04? E.g: commit changes, push, pull, etc.

Did you mean from a Graphical User Interface? – Dominic Motuka Jul 09 '16 at 12:40

@daumie I mean that, when I see a file in the standard file-manager, I can right-click the file, then select e.g. "commit" and the file will be committed. – Erel Segal-Halevi Jul 09 '16 at 19:07

@Pabi that question was from 2010. The top answer says to use RabbitVCS, but RabbitVCS is not working well with 14.04 and 16.04. – Erel Segal-Halevi Aug 04 '16 at 09:01

@Pabi additionally, when I go to Help->About in my default 16.04 file manager, it does not say "Nautilus", it only says "Files". – Erel Segal-Halevi Aug 04 '16 at 09:03

Yes it is named files in the menue, it is nonetheless nautilus. The newest version (v0.16.0) should work fine with 16.04. – Pabi Aug 04 '16 at 09:05

See here: https://github.com/rabbitvcs/rabbitvcs/issues/162 an open issue claiming an error and in stability on 16.04. Also, here: http://ppa.launchpad.net/rabbitvcs/ppa/ubuntu/dists/ there is no version for xenial. – Erel Segal-Halevi Aug 04 '16 at 09:10

1@DavidFoerster did he ask for GUI clients for Git? I don't think he did. – Anwar Aug 04 '16 at 14:21

@AnwarShah: Ok, then it's at least very closely related to the question. – David Foerster Aug 04 '16 at 14:43
