qct - Online in the Cloud

PROGRAM:

NAME

qct - Qt Commit Tool

SYNOPSIS

qct [VCS]

DESCRIPTION

The qct(1) command provides a common GUI commit dialog for many revision control systems
across many platforms, including Linux/UNIX, MacOSX, and Microsoft Windows.

VERSION CONTROL SYSTEMS

Mercurial
[--hg|-h] Qct supports both the simple repository model and the Mercurial Queue patch
maintenance model. When MQ patches are applied, qct will present a patch refresh user
interface. Consult README.mercurial for more details.

Bazaar
[--bzr|-b] Bazaar support is complete, but could use some polishing. Qct can run as a
bazaar plugin. Consult README.bazaar for more details.

Perforce
[--p4|-4] Perforce support is complete, if somewhat restrictive. On Windows, you must
override P4DIFF with a command line diff tool. Consult README.perforce for more
details.

CVS
[--cvs|-c] CVS support is feature complete, but not well tested. Consult README.cvs
for more details.

Monotone
[--mtn|-m] Monotone support is feature complete, but not well tested. Consult
README.monotone for more details.

Subversion
[--svn|-s] Subversion support is not very well tested at this time, so consider it
alpha quality. Consult README.subversion for more details.

Git
[--cg] Git repositories are only supported via the Cogito front-end interface, which
must be installed in order for Qct to work properly. Consult README.git for more
details.

VCS INTEGRATION

Qct can run as a plugin inside both Mercurial and Bazaar. Please consult the packaged
INSTALL file and each plugin’s built-in help for more information.

SIGN OFF MESSAGES

If you require a sign-off (or other) message to be appended to all of your commit
messages, you can specify this message in the Qct preferences dialog. The sign-off message
will not show up in the commit message window, but will be automatically appended to your
message when passed to the VCS for commit.

CHANGE SELECTION

Qct will allow you to select individual changes made to revisioned files, temporarily
storing the remaining changes under a .qct/ directory until the commit has been completed.
To enable this feature, you must configure a two-way merge application in the Qct
preferences dialog. Kompare, meld, and kdiff3 are all known to work correctly in this
mode. Any merge application which takes two file-names on the command line and allows them
to be merged together can be used.

EXTERNAL EDITOR

You can register an external editor with the Qct preferences dialog. Your editor will be
presented as a context-menu option for all non-deleted commitable files in the file list.

EXTERNAL DIFF

If your VCS supports external diff tools, you may register one of these with the Qct
preferences dialog. Your diff tool will be offered in the context menu of all modified
files in your file list. The diff tool will be provided with the list of selected files so
it must be capable of retrieving the file diffs itself, typically by getting them from
your revision control system.
