The latest release of git-cola/git-cola is v4.19.0. It is a multi-platform graphical client (GUI) for working with Git repositories, managing changes and commits, branches, and history on screen. It is written in Python and released under the GPL-2.0 license.

The project was created on June 10, 2008, and its repository description calls it "The highly caffeinated Git GUI". According to the README it can be run straight from the source tree, and it offers git-cola subcommands for file finding, grep, and an interactive rebase tool. It also ships git-cola-sequence-editor, an interactive editor for reordering and picking commits during a rebase. Basic Git work such as reviewing changes and commits, managing branches, and browsing history is gathered on one screen, and the public repository has 2584 stars.

However, the collected record contains neither a changelog nor a publication date for v4.19.0. What was fixed in this release and which features were added are not given, so it is not possible to tell whether the features listed in the README arrived in this version or existed earlier. No performance comparison or comparison with other Git GUIs is presented either. On a 10-point scale, the evaluation score is 0.0 for the momentum item only, with the freshness, technical, and quality items left empty. The scope of the change this version brought therefore cannot be pinned down from this record, and the actual changes require reading the repository's release notes directly.
