#Gitso
Gitso is a frontend to reverse VNC connections. It is meant to be a simple two-step process that connects one person to another's screen.
Original Project is kept at: https://code.google.com/p/gitso/
Few changes that I've made:
- Minimization now minimizes to the task tray
- When using the command line switch --listen, Gitso starts minimized
- Can now specify which port to listen on. --listen {PORT}
##Building Gitso ####Windows In the src folder you will find instructions on how to build Gitso on Windows along with installation files. You may have to change some paths in makegitso.bat depending on your installation.
####Mac These instructions have been taken from https://code.google.com/p/gitso/wiki/BuildOSX
- Install Developer Tools (Xcode) from the OS X System CD

##Disclaimer I really have no desire to maintain this project, as it's not mine to begin with. I was looking for something like Gitso but it didn't quite have what I wanted. After making my changes I thought I might as well put this up on GitHub for others who wanted something similar. So if you have issues, you're better off forking the project and fixing them yourself.
