If you mean that developers adjust pixels sizes for the finger (like "button should be no less than 40x40 points"), then it's not that strict. iPad has less points per inch than iPhone, but the standard buttons all have the same logical siz

Thanks again for the feedback. First week after the 1.0 release I was busy working on improvements and have addressed many of issues you describe. 1. In 1.1 File->Open menu is renamed to Open Repository. Add button will appear in a tota

Thanks for sharing the link. I have commented earlier on SmartGit, the same ideas apply to SourceTree as well. PS. The size is almost a non-issue since it does not affect performance and you don't download the app every day. Anyway, the siz

Soon Gitbox will indeed provide all-in-one experience, but it will still look like a little simple app. No way it will look like an IDE: people should spend their time inventing, drawing and coding, not managing versions.

You may use Cmd+tab and keyboard shortcuts in Gitbox as well. It is even faster than in Terminal and you don't have to type "git status" or "git log" (even with aliases)

corprew: the situation with hardlinks and the app size will improve over time. I just had a lot of more important things to do. (sorry, cannot reply to you directly: no reply link)

I understand the limitations of the current sidebar design. This will be improved over time. Regarding smartgit: it is simply not for the people I'm trying to work for. It looks and feels like another scary development tool you should have

I couldn't get it store hardlinks properly (using ditto). Do you know how to fix that?

Gitbox is superior to what you have today. Very common things like commiting and checking the status and log are much faster and cleaner than in the command line or GitX. It is easier to extract a file from history, compare and manage the b

Unfortunately, no. Gitbox is designed on top of GCD and blocks which are available in 10.6 (which is Intel-only). The tradeoff is worth it: with GCD I was able to implement sophisticated control flow cleaner and faster, and fix a lot of bug

It's not negative at all. It is a credit to Linus as a creator. Linus made a great tool and the command line UI is enough for him. Gitbox just makes his creation accessible to others and everybody wins.

Gitbox is better because it is a pleasure to use. There are tons of little details which matter in a daily work. For instance, when you switch a branch and try to commit to it, the branch name will be highlighted to remind you that the bran

First, it is not a browser. You actually do commits, merges and manipulate branches. The size is that big because Gitbox is bundled with official Git binaries so you don't have to install anything else. I will see how to bring the size down
