![]() ![]() Assuming I can remember to use it regularly, and it provides the same features I rely on GitX for, Fork is the strongest contender. ![]() I doubt GitX is going to fall out of regular usage (muscle memory, inertia), but I would love to switch to a new, actively developed too. It has similar (to GitX) keyboard shortcuts and a large dedicated stage/commit area. I can launch it from a repository directory on the command line. However my first impressions is very positive. This is the "new" graphical tool I mentioned above, so I don't have much experience with it. It feels fresh, stable and polished, and the maintainers are actively developing it. It doesn't appear to be open-source software, but it is cross-platform (macOS and Windows). Unlike Xit Fork doesn't claim any lineage to GitX, though it obviously has taken significant design inspiration from it. Forkįork ( also?) is another tool similar to GitX. I'll take another look after they are confident to bring Xit out of beta. The developers consolidated GitX's stage/commit area into the main area, and they removed the familiar keyboard shortcuts. I am certainly going to keep an eye on it, but as the project is in beta, I haven't felt much need to switch yet. ![]() I downloaded it to check it out a while ago, and its GitX heritage is pretty obvious. It is currently being actively, though slowly, developed. I recommend the latter: brew cask install gitx # GitX GitX-dev has a few more features over the original, but it too is abandoned.īoth GitX and GitX-dev are available via Homebrew. Several forks have come and gone since then, and they all seem to be abandoned too. It was originally developed by Pieter de Bie ( project website), but he hasn't updated it over a decade. However I have some issues, the first being a complete project abandonment. It works so well, and I almost never have to think about it. At work I switch among several repos at once, and GitX handles a window for each of them with ease. I love it's (mostly) simple interface and that it almost never crashes. GitX is simple to use and is mostly focused on reading git repository, though it does facilitate creating new commits. I have been using GitX since around the time I purchased my MacBook in mid-2012. Last night a friend showed me a new one (below), so I thought I would list my favorites in this space. To contribute/update this web page, see its Repository.Although I believe developers should learn git on the command line, graphical tools can be useful, especially for inspecting history. Please look at the technical overview of the Git for Windows packaging and how to include your changes in your own custom installer. The Git for Windows SDK is a build environment that includes all the tools necessary for developers who want to contribute by writing code for Git for Windows. Issue Tracker Git for Windows SDK : Contributing Code If you've noticed a bug or simply have an idea that you'd like to see become real, why not work on it? Bug reports and feature requests are typically submitted to the issue tracker on our GitHub repository. There the roles of those involved in driving this project further down the road are described in detail. If you are interested in contributing to the Git for Windows project, have a look at the current governance model. As an open source project, Git for Windows benefits greatly from both the volunteer work of helpful developers and good bug reports made by Git for Windows' users. ![]()
