Hi Markus,

I happen to use the git-gui and qgit a lot ("qgit --all &" from the 
CLI), the latter has built-in functions for applying and creating 
git-patches ("git format-patch").

Qgit comes with user configurable actions:

<quote>

Actions can be added/removed using a dedicated dialog invoked from 
Actions→Setup actions… menu. Actions can be activated clicking on their 
name from the Actions menu.

Each action can be associated to a list of any type of git or shell 
commands or to an external script.

While an action is running a terminal window is shown to display the 
corresponding output.

An action can also ask for command line arguments before to run so to 
allow for maximum flexibility.

</quote>

I use this for calling frequently used functions.

Qgit also has StGit integration.

Kind regards,

Bert Timmerman.
