For my needs, GitX (rowanj fork) is still unbeat: http://rowanj.github.io/gitx/ http://rowanj.github.io/gitx/
It has the exact right amount of UI complementing the command line, and some delightful features, e.g. amending the last commit is possible via a checkbox below the commit message.
What I don't like about Sublime and now Sublime Merge, is the unusual way of setting preferences by editing files. I understand that hacking in a JSON file has benefits, but if you just want to use that tool, it's tiring having to google how to change a setting. To me, it feels a bit like losing control.
E.g. I wanted to check whether SM supports line wrapping—I'm still not sure whether it does, after browsing the available menu items a bit.
- dsego 8y agoSince you are on a Mac, did you try Gitup? I am disappointed that Sublime Merge didn't take clues from Gitup's interface. I feel it's the most unobtrusive and efficient git GUI to exist.
- egorfine 8y agoLatest commit ce17d07 on Nov 10, 2014 Yeah, been there, done that. I have maintained a fork of GitX for my own usage with my own fixes but then gave up. Better clients exists. Right now I am using Git Tower and happy with it.
- manmal 8y agoGit Tower is not really better for my use cases. I‘ve tried various clients, Git Tower among them. I need UI only for file comparisons and line staging, and I find GitX‘s Layout perfect. GitX is again under active development (per another comment here).
- robin_reala 8y agoFor what it’s worth, the currently developed version of GitX (which I use daily) is at https://github.com/gitx/gitx https://github.com/gitx/gitx . You’ll have to build it yourself, but it’s in a much better shape than the rowanj fork.
- manmal 8y agoOh, good to know, thank you!
