+# Gitg
+
+gitg is a graphical user interface for git. It aims at being a small, fast and convenient tool to visualize 
the history of git repositories.  Besides visualization, gitg also provides several utilities to manage your 
repository and commit your work.
+
+The latest version of gitg is 3.30.1.
