Re: GUI interface to Subversion via web browser?

Hello,

You can find screen captures of the three previously mentioned tools just
here:
https://superuser.com/questions/559261/looking-for-a-web-based-svn-code-browser-alternative-for-trac-anything-like-g
Some ticket trackers like Redmine also have Subversion browsing
capabilities.

If you're willing to manage you repositories as well as browsing them, I
would recommend having a look at:
* SCM-Manager: https://scm-manager.org/docs/3.1.x/en/user/repo/code/
* RhodeCode: https://rhodecode.com/features
Both are compatible with Subversion, Git and Mercurial backends.
