I've been using it for about a year now. Works very well. Only gotcha is that it doesn't really have support for Windows (it's on the issue tracker, but progress has been slow). If you do your work on OS X or Linux you're fine, but if you're a Windows user you're in for a bumpy ride.
- mikekij 8y agoSide thought- what an interesting change from the software world 10 years ago. Who would have thought windows support was a lower priority then OS X and Linux. Onward and upward!
- orclev 8y agoIn this particular case it's all about Windows not having a decent SSH client. There's PuTTY... and uh... PuTTY. Oh, and you can sort of maybe run OpenSSH through LSFW or Cygwin, or maybe msys, but those all have some serious gotchas associated with them. Basically it boils down to, there's no standard Windows SSH client, and the ones that are available all have a laundry list of gotchas and problems, and that's without even bringing in the various git clients into consideration. OS X and Linux are low hanging fruit, they both come out of the box with a standard and well supported SSH clients.
