"Fisheye" source code repository browser
- On-premise
- Source code browsing tools/
Git, Subversion, etc. - compatible Browse code, monitor commits, receive
change notifications, and retrieve insightful reports.
What is Fisheye?
Users can view the source code registered in the repository with a Web browser, eliminating the need for troublesome installation. Users can check changes to the source code using a graphical screen.
Fisheye is also lightweight. It constantly monitors changes to the repository in the background and keeps the index updated. You will never have to wait for repository access every time you open a file.
*The Jira product that works with this software is Jira Software.
Main Features
Support for Git, Subversion, etc.
Fisheye supports most commonly used source code management tools.
- Subversion
- CVS
- Perforce
- Git
- Mercurial
With Fisheye, you can browse repositories in the same interface without having to be aware of the differences between the tools that created them. It also supports multiple methods of accessing the repository, for example, svn, file, http, and http for Subversion.
Manage multiple repositories
Multiple repositories can be registered with Fisheye.
Each repository can be in a different location, using a different protocol, or created with a different tool. Once registered, they can be browsed and managed through the same interface. If the repository type is Subversion, CVS, or Perforce, you can set the character encoding to be used separately, such as UTF-8 for one repository and Shift_JIS for another.
Also, repositories can be configured to behave individually. For example, a repository that has reached the end of its life cycle and is no longer being updated can be switched to a stopped state with its settings preserved.
Works with Jira
You can use Fisheye even more conveniently by linking it with Jira. All you have to do is set up an application link and specify the project you want to link to.
Just include the Jira issue key in the commit message, and Fisheye will recognize the commit as being related to that issue.
You can also see the contents of the committed source code from the issue in Jira by clicking on the “Commit link” shown in the “Development” panel of the Jira screen, which will take you to the Fisheye screen to see the details. If you are already running Jira, you can also integrate Fisheye's user management with Jira.
Browser-based diff
To control versions, it is important to be able to easily see changes in the source code, and Fisheye allows you to see changes from any browser.
Side-by-side
Find code differences in an IDE-like fashion. Easily reference changes.
Unified
Unified highlights the changes, not just lines or characters, like the diff command.
Code review function added
Adding Crucible, a source code review tool, to Fisheye adds code review functionality.
When you click on a requested review, Crucible will display the target source code. You can then write comments. You can also write replies to other reviewers' comments.
The Crusible functionality is pre-installed in Fisheye, so all you need to do is register a license and you are ready to go. No complicated setup is required.
