How do you push code with gitg?

Question

I can do everything else I need but with the GUI I cannot seem to figure out how to pull or push code. Pushing is more important in this case, anyone know how?

Anyone looking for this feature in gitg 3.14: I got confirmation from a developer that it hasn't been implemented yet.

No, but here is the upstream issue: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=763355 – jgillich Mar 15 '16 at 12:37

Don't mean to be rude but... Why hasn't it been implemented yet? it's a pretty essential feature – Elimination Mar 15 '16 at 18:39
Thanks for your answer. I have 3.24 in Fedora 26 and it is not implemented there either. – alfC Oct 31 '17 at 08:20

Figured it out, not too difficult, just have to right click on the branch name when you are looking at your commit history

in Gitg 3.16 I can not find a push option in that menu. – BuZZ-dEE Jul 01 '15 at 22:12

for 3.17 I can confirm that there is no such option. – Ivan Marjanovic Aug 20 '18 at 13:06
I only see an option for fetching in gitg 3.30 on manjaro and the authentication for that is somehow broken. Frankly, just alt-tab to a terminal and push from there with a properly set up ssh key. – Jessie Koffi Jul 01 '19 at 12:13

Thanks for the screenshot, couldn't find it otherwise – Magnetic_dud Mar 31 '15 at 11:19
The screenshot is probably from older version of gitg (0.2.X), which supported checkout, push, cherry-pick and many other useful features, that don't work in the current version of gitg. – Robert Zelník Nov 29 '16 at 13:57

According to the NEWS file on Gitg's source code (https://git.gnome.org/browse/gitg/tree/NEWS), branch push was a feature regression on version 0.3.1 as a part of its rewrital. To this day, it has yet to be brought back, sadly. – Xerz Apr 04 '17 at 12:29

Oh, apparently it's been recently written and sent to a patch, hopefully it'll be added into the next version of Gitg. See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=763355. – Xerz Apr 04 '17 at 12:33

Create on .git/hooks a file named post-commit and insert this code

#!/bin/bash
git push -u origin master

and turn this into a executable script

chmod 755 post-commit

According to the official project roadmap, it is a feature in todo state; the target release is 0.3 so I assume this table it is not updated so this project is poorly maintained: we can imagine real gnome coders do not use GUIs :)

You have to clone a repository previously. For example:

git clone https://github.com/manuelkiessling/NodeBeginnerBook.git

Once cloned, go into the downloaded repository and execute gitk
