I've been hoping for a JetBrains stand-alone git client for years, similar to Sublime Merge. [0] I'm sure there's quite a few people out there that would pay $10 to use their git client with another editor.

- hbn 4y agoI've been following a suggestion for a standalone git client on their issue tracker for a while now, but it sounds like they're currently not interested in making it https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-152437/Make-git-client-a-standalone-app#focus=Comments-27-6602406.0-0 https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-152437/Make-git-cl...
- wordyskeleton 4y agoThey really should, it's miles better than any standalone I've used.
- graypegg 4y agoAhh :( Nice to know they've thought about it though! It sounds like since they offer their git features inside of their community edition IDEs (Android Studio, PyCharm, IntelliJ) they wouldn't be able to charge for it. I know I probably would still pay for it, if it meant not opening up a whole IDE just to use one built-in plugin, but maybe there's something I'm missing. > Dmitry Jemerov [JetBrains Employee] commented 22 Jun 2022 10:20 > This has been discussed internally a number of times and at this time we have no plans to work on this. This product would have to be free (because its functionality would be a subset of the free Community Edition), it would require significant design and development effort to repackage the functionality in the form that would be acceptable for a standalone client, and we don't believe the marketing value of this work would compensate the development costs. Of course, all the code is open source and anyone is welcome to do this work themselves as a third-party tool.
