  Any windows screenshots?

  (Fork is also an awful name in terms of searching for it btw)

  You have my attention

  Do they have a Linux client though?

  source

  • cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    sadly no and i don’t think it works through wine

    but technically they have a mac client which is basically an expensive version of linux

      Not really. It’s BSD, and even then the layout of the OS is quite far from BSD. Besides that you have a lot more technical stuff. Just use wine.

    I wish! The best Linux git gui I have found is SmartGit. I like it, but it’s just a little goofy and not free. Fork is better for its ability to very easily stage and/or stash a subset of the current changeset.

    Anyone got any suggestions? I tried git-cola and gitkraken. The former I found obtuse and limited, and the latter is not free in addition to somehow making git harder with a pretty gui.

      Gitkraken is free as long as the repository is public, which seems like an alright compromise to me. The only problem I had with it was that it was electron. What did it make harder for you?

        I just really detest the UI.

      The best ones I have found for Linux are SmartGit and Sublime Merge, but neither are free in any sense. Sublime Merge is slightly cheaper.

      SmartGit is free if you use a hobby license. Cannot use it for commercial projects, but if using it for commercial projects you should be able to afford it

        Right and that is how I currently use it

  Been using it for years it’s great

  Fork is simply the best. Git Extensions deserves a mention as well

  I hate coding on Windows, maybe I’ll check that out. (My only option is Windows for my work laptop because I need to use a few Windows-only softwares and IT says I’m not allowed to dual boot)

    Is running Linux off a USB drive possible? It isn’t ideal, but you can still have persistence if needed? There is also WSL, if you don’t need a GUI.

      After the last windows update WSL gives me a BSoD every time 😭 Pretty sure IT wouldn’t appreciate me running Ubuntu off a USB drive but that’s a good idea.
