Read time: 2 minute(s)

Oxygen Applications

  • Oxygen Content Fusion is a web-based Git-enabled DITA CMS. It is designed to provide the missing pieces that Git lacks when working with a DITA project, such as review workflows and publishing.
  • Git Client add-on in Oxygen XML Editor allows you to use Git from the comfort of your authoring tool.
  • Oxygen XML Web Author has support for all Git hosting servers. It is customisable and can be integrated with your workflows and tools, such as JIRA issue tracking.

Repository hosting solutions

  • GitHub (either online or on-premise).
  • GitLab (either online or on-premise).
Both of these solutions come with:
  • Support for creating and managing private/public repositories.
  • Basic support for creating and handling tickets/issues.
  • Support for creating pull/merge requests.

Other client-side applications

There are lots of free client-side applications that can be used to work with Git repositories:

  • Git Fork
  • Git Tower
  • SourceTree
  • GitHub Desktop
    • Allows you to cherry-pick commits with drag & drop, but otherwise has limited functionality
  • The git command-line client
    • Useful for scripting or advanced commands
