Sublime Merge is still the best option so far (not Electron)
- steve_adams_86 4y agoAbsolutely, what an excellent tool. One of those one-time purchases I almost wish was a subscription so I can be sure the team keeps working on it. I actually understand git better because of Merge. It's great because it provides a great interface into git, but it doesn't _hide_ git from you; it explains it quite a well. I suppose a newcomer to git might find Merge intimidating, but for anyone with a bit of experience I think it's quite an awesome power tool with a rare balance of handy abstraction and transparency around git itself.

- steve_adams_86 4y agoI can't imagine the Sublime Merge version I have today won't still be super useful once my license expires, so for a lot of people, buying a new copy might not seem particularly compelling. It's also so cheap (or it was when I bought it) that it's waaayyyyy less expensive than any 3 year subscription I've ever seen – something like $2/month.
- calvinmorrison 4y agoPeople on my team use it. I guess it's fine, but when they get stuck with git (a-la locate git.txt and call the number listed on it), I am sort of at a loss of what they did to get where they are. At least with git commands you can sort of see how they got there. Just my 2c
