Any git repo viewer that works over SSH?

so I have a folder of Git repositories on a Linux(Ubuntu) box that I can only access via commandline SSH. I mainly work on Windows and I want to find a way to look at the list of repositories on Windows via some sort of GUI, I tried using Gitlist,http://gitlist.org/, but I'm not sure how to access the localhost of the Ubuntu machine from my Windows machine.

Any help is appreciated.

A generic solution which also can be used for other programs than git viewers might be a X-Server for Windows like MobaXterm.

With that installed you can start any X program from the ssh shell if X display forwarding is active. The X program is then displayed on your Windows screen.

Emacs can display git logs with their graph structure in text mode. Just start emacs, type C-xvd, type in the path and hit Enter. In the status buffer, just press l to view the log.

BTW, if you know no Emacs: use C-xC-c to end Emacs.
