Probably a dumb question but can I use this for repositories hosted anywhere or does this only work with Github repositories?
I currently use SourceTree but only for solving conflicts and manually adding things to staging in increments. I would like to give this software a try.
- kingnight 12y agoI just tried it out and found that it can work with repositories that are hosted elsewhere, but I haven't yet found a way to clone a new local repo from a non-github remote repo.
- sergiotapia 12y agoYeah that's more than good enough. I only clone in terminal anyways. I'll give this a shot for a couple of days. Thank you!
- squeaky-clean 12y agoIf it's anything like Github for Windows, then yes, you can, but it's not exactly intuitive. Here's a stackoverflow post which should cover all the basics, and a bit more.

However, overall, the application is pretty basic (assuming it's just like the Github for Windows client, plus the new features announced). It has a nice diff viewer, and can push/pull. But that's about it. The interface is beautiful, and the Mac app seems to look just as good. But any other advanced git features, you'll need to do through the command line. I wonder why are there no good git GUIs that offer git's full feature set? I guess it's a harder problem than it seems. Or maybe just every dev who uses git's advanced features would just prefer to use the command line anyways.
