A cross platform GUI git client that doesn't suck!
- ocdtrekkie 10y agoThis is a pretty great idea. For what I often deal with, the GitHub desktop client is okay (though obviously tied to GitHub), but then I was sad to also realize they don't offer it on Linux. (Maybe they assume Linux nerds don't need GUIs?) I tried Tower when it was in beta for Windows, but the cost is too steep to justify it for me. But it seemed to be a lot more full featured than the GitHub client which isn't good for more than basic commits. And again, no Linux there either. I'd definitely go for a solid, open source git client, and it's obviously very relevant to GitLab's business.
- ylk 10y ago> (though obviously tied to GitHub) You can actually use GitHub Desktop with any repo: https://help.github.com/desktop/faq/articles/do-you-support-hosts-other-than-github/ https://help.github.com/desktop/faq/articles/do-you-support-... (Although it looks like you have to clone it first?)
- j_koreth 10y agoHave you tried smartgit?
- mullsork 10y agoSpend that money porting GitUp.co to multiple platforms instead. The only git GUI I've used that doesn't suck. Might be lacking in features though 8)
