Git Cola como alternativa Linux ao GitHub Desktop
Atualizado em
Nossa avaliação
Git Cola can replace GitHub Desktop for users who are comfortable with a more traditional Git GUI and want a lightweight, highly configurable client. It covers cloning, branching, committing, pushing/pulling, viewing history, resolving conflicts, and even integrates with GitHub issues via the command line. It is best suited for developers who prefer a desktop tool that stays close to Git’s native workflow and for those who don’t need the built‑in GitHub‑specific features of GitHub Desktop.

O que funciona igual
- Both allow cloning repositories from GitHub and managing branches (create, switch, delete).
- Both provide a graphical commit history and diff view for reviewing changes.
- Both support staging/unstaging changes, committing, and pushing/pulling to remotes.
- Both can resolve merge conflicts through a visual merge tool.
- Both integrate with GitHub issues and pull requests via external tools or command line.
O que muda
- Git Cola lacks a built‑in GitHub issue and PR browser; users must use external tools or the command line.
- Git Cola does not offer a native “GitHub Desktop” style sync panel; all actions are accessed through menus or shortcuts.
- Git Cola’s UI is more traditional and may feel less modern than GitHub Desktop’s polished design.
- Git Cola does not bundle a GitHub authentication flow; users need to set up SSH or HTTPS credentials manually.
- Git Cola’s configuration is file‑based and can be more complex for beginners.
Abrindo seus arquivos do GitHub Desktop
GitHub Desktop stores its settings in a proprietary JSON format inside the user’s home directory; Git Cola does not read or write these files. Exporting a repository from GitHub Desktop simply means cloning the repo, which Git Cola can handle without issue. Importing a GitHub Desktop project is not supported directly, but cloning the same repo in Git Cola achieves the same result.
Trocando o GitHub Desktop pelo Git Cola, passo a passo
- Open GitHub Desktop and note the repository URLs you use.
- Launch Git Cola and choose File → Clone Repository.
- Paste the GitHub URL and select a local folder.
- Use Git Cola’s Branch menu to create or switch branches.
- Commit changes via the staging pane and push to the remote.
- If you use GitHub issues, open them in your browser or use the command line.
