Is there a web-based git client? [solved, kindof] (lemmy.ahall.se)

I'm looking for a web-based client, like git gui for choosing files to stage and to make commits. The actual files in the git repo would be edited elsewhere, so that is taken care of, but my google-fu is letting me down in this endeavour of finding the actual client.

There is a metric ton of repo browsers, and that would be fine, as long as they also could show status and diffs from a git repo and being able to commit.

Anyone have any pointers to anything a web git client? Thanks!

There is git instaweb command, which runs gitweb for current repo using a specified web server (apache2, lighttpd, mongoose, plackup, python and webrick are supported), and starts a browser. Though gitweb is slightly (or more than slightly) dated, and what is more important, read only.

You can see (modified) gitweb in action on https://repo.or.cz/

Yeah, tried that first, but the read onlyness was a slight problem :)
