I am surprised (and I say this as a person who has written a lot of C# and likes the language). I assumed that doing any sort of integration with Git would require C-level bridging. Didn't realize there was any sort of decent C# bindings for Git. Also, I have not seen very many Windows apps with slick UIs like this that were written in C#. Even the WPF ones that I've seen were quite clunky.

Someone mentioned MarkPad/DownmarkerWPF in the thread but Code52 has a few other projects that use WPF that are good examples. Mishra Reader (https://mishrareader.codeplex.com/ https://mishrareader.codeplex.com/) and Espera (https://github.com/flagbug/Espera https://github.com/flagbug/Espera) are two other apps I also like.

> I assumed that doing any sort of integration with Git would require C-level bridging. Short of re-writing git in c#, it does require bridging. That's what unsafe code is for - calling out to dlls written in c. > Didn't realise there was any sort of decent C# bindings for Git. I kind of just assumed that there was. There usually is. The licences page lists "libgit2", so it's probably this one: https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2sharp#readme https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2sharp#readme (edit yep, LibGit2Sharp is mentioned later on in the licences) The file LibGit2Sharp/Core/NativeMethods.cs seems to do a lot of the bindings. > the WPF ones that I've seen were quite clunky I said that WPF was flexible, I didn't say simple or easy :P Also, to get good design, you usually need the help of a designer. Most coders will produce "clunky" UIs. I would. Somehow, the Windows desktop space has been very slow to deal with this.
