GitX: Git GUI for OS X
- markbao 18y agoI'd like to see Versions http://www.versionsapp.com/ http://www.versionsapp.com/ for Git.
- Emore 18y agoI'd like to see Cornerstone http://www.zennaware.com/ http://www.zennaware.com/ for Git. :)
- barrettcolin 18y agoSlick though both Versions and Cornerstone look, neither of them support svn merging. Does anyone know of a GUI subversion client on Mac that does?

- defunkt 18y agoGitX is just awesome, and getting better every day. You can currently stage and commit changes using the app, among other things (check out the 'committing' and 'advanced' screencasts on http://gitx.frim.nl/seeit.html http://gitx.frim.nl/seeit.html). Best of all: it's open source and makes great use of HTML & JavaScript. Even if you don't know ObjC, you can contribute.
- tjweir 18y agohttp://gitabulous.com/ http://gitabulous.com/ is supposed to be nice and sexy. I've asked to be reminded but I've heard nothing so far.
- paltman 18y agothere was a lack of interest in this and the open source gitx proved to be hard to compete against.
- epall 18y agoI love GitX. While I'm developing I leave it up alongside Eclipse, and I actually like having a separate interface to my source control outside the IDE.
- jimm 18y agoDoes it have problems with large repositories? It seemed to hang, and when I tried restarting it it just crashed.
- qqq 18y agoWhat do you need a GUI for?
- tptacek 18y agoI think that about Subversion, which is really just a versioned filesystem; the git command line is pretty complicated though.
- lehmannro 18y agoI don't know if the versioned filesystem metaphor fits Subversion that well -- clients do not store history after all. It is usually what Git evangelists praise about their software; you can use Git as a simple versioned file system if you wish (git add/commit/log and you're all set).
- tptacek 18y agoSubversion is literally a filesystem; that is all it is. Most of Subversion's problems come from the fact that the metaphor doesn't fit the task very well. The fact that Git clients store full histories is one of the things that makes it less like a filesystem; it is, instead, a system for managing overlapping patch streams. Check out the core svn C APIs (nb: our product is built on them); it's basically an open/close/read/write/readdir system with one additional "history" option (which history snapshots an entire filesystem, not just individual files (like CVS) or patches (like git).
- ohhmaagawd 18y agoin many cases with a large project it's faster to work with a GUI. You can navigate complex hierarchies more quickly.
- SapphireSun 18y agoIs there a nice looking git client for windows?
- ohhmaagawd 18y agonope. they are working on cheetah (like tortoise for SVN), but best I can tell it hasn't gone anywhere: http://repo.or.cz/w/git-cheetah.git/ http://repo.or.cz/w/git-cheetah.git/
- ohhmaagawd 18y agoI am trying out Git for a new project and I think we are going to end up going back to SVN. Problems: There is no support user based auth, so you have to set up SSH keys. Pain for our non-techies in the group. You should be able to add users and get access via user/pw/repo url. Bigger problem is the lack of Windows support. We have 2 people (the non-techies) on Windows and expecting them to learn the command line stuff isn't realistic.
- gecko 18y agoIf I could, I'd like to suggest using Mercurial instead. It is vastly better supported on Windows, has a simpler workflow, and allows HTTP-based authentication--no SSH keys required. Plus, if you really need git-like flexibility--rebasing and whatnot--it's there in the form of Mercurial patch queues.
