It was created for people maintaining interdependent patch sets on top of another project, especially where patches must remain reviewable, exportable, and shareable. ### Projektgeschichte The official changelog starts with TopGit 0.1 in August 2008. Its documentation calls it a different patch queue manager and explains the core idea: instead of storing patches as diff files, TopGit represents each patch as Git branches plus metadata files such as `.topdeps` and `.topmsg`. The maintained mackyle documentation describes the current TopGit PRO repository, hosted on GitHub and repo.or.cz, as a continuation that fixes bugs and expands the original design. Later 0.19-series releases added features around undo, speed, POSIX portability, compatibility, and internal cleanup. ### Adoptionsgeschichte TopGit's adoption is specialized rather than mainstream. The input package metadata lists packages in Alpine, Homebrew, Debian, Fedora, Nix, and Ubuntu, which fits its audience: distro maintainers, patch-stack maintainers, and Git users who need more structure than ad hoc branches but still want patch export. ### Wie es verwendet wird TopGit is used to create, update, inspect, export, mail, and navigate patch branches. The official overview contrasts it with Quilt: Quilt tracks ordered diff files, while TopGit tracks patch dependencies in Git and can export a quilt-style patch directory when needed. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren TopGit is significant in package-maintenance culture because it bridges Git-native history and downstream patch queues. It preserves patch-edit history, supports dependency topology beyond a linear series file, and can still produce patch sets for ecosystems that expect diff files. ### Zeitleiste - 2008: TopGit 0.1 appears in the official changelog. - 2014: Changelog notes TopGit 0.10. - 0.19 series: Later maintained releases focus on undo, speed, POSIX portability, compatibility, and internal cleanup. - Current: mackyle documentation identifies the maintained TopGit PRO repository and full manual. ### Related projects - Git, Quilt, StGIT, Guilt, git send-email, distro patch queues. ### Quellen - - - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger-Risiko:** grün / niedrig - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Andere Paketmanager-Einträge - Debian apt - topgit - 0.8-3: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: topgit from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | a Git patch queue manager | https://repo.or.cz/w/topgit.git - Ubuntu apt - topgit - 0.8-3: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: topgit from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | a Git patch queue manager | https://repo.or.cz/w/topgit.git - apk - topgit - 0.19.13-r1: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: topgit from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | A different patch queue manager | https://github.com/mackyle/topgit - apk - topgit-bash-completion - 0.19.13-r1: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: topgit-bash-completion from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Bash completions for topgit | https://github.com/mackyle/topgit - apk - topgit-doc - 0.19.13-r1: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: topgit-doc from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/testing/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | A different patch queue manager (documentation) | https://github.com/mackyle/topgit - dnf - topgit - 0.19.14-4.fc45: normalized package name match | Fedora Rawhide package metadata: topgit from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/07190dc5ae9f35ae73866675fed6d95fe6e8d9fe22c9d7cdf85862cb2ed24a4c-primary.xml.zst | A different patch queue manager | https://mackyle.github.io/topgit/ - Nix - tg: installed executable or alias match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/tg/tg/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
