| X-tile is an application that allows you to select a number of windows and tile them in different ways. X-tile works on any X desktop (gnome, kde, xfce, lxde…). The main features are: many tiling geometries, undo tiling, invert tiling order, optional system tray docking and menu, filter to avoid listing some windows, filter to check some windows by default, command line interface. Written by Giuseppe Penone (aka giuspen) and Chris Camacho (aka Chris_C). The following languages are supported:

development versions :
the source code is version controlled with git and hosted by github.
you can get a clone of the x-tile git repository issuing the command:
git clone https://github.com/giuspen/x-tile.git
cd x-tile
./x-tile
that will create a folder named x-tile in the terminal working directory.
in order to update the local repository with the server repository updates you don’t need to “git clone” all the time but simply run the following command from a terminal whose working directory is x-tile:
git pull
