  So, only about a decade until reaching feature parity with something like lazygit?

    lazygit is seriously so good, it’s a shame so many people write it off because it’s not some beautiful Apple GUI. it’s an extremely efficient productivity tool.

      I don’t write it off because its ugly, I like snappy TUI tools. I write it off cause its not easy to pick up compared to what’s already in my editor.

      I don’t

      • stage indidvual lines (which is just a keystroke in my editor)
      • interactive rebase
      • cherry pick
      • bisect
      • nuke working trees
      • amend old commits

  Bookmarking this. I have such high hopes for this! I recently went searching for my new git GUI, looking for something free, cross-platform, and simple. Basically what I found is the only one I like is GitKraken, which is not free (I have private projects, which GitKraken paywalls).

  If this ends up anything like how these screenshots look, this will be my new client! Do you have a Patreon or other donation mechanism?

    Vscode and git lens. If you are older like me, emacs and magit

    source

    • sping@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Isn’t there a magit-alike putting for vscode. I have found it so frustrating working with devs who don’t use magit, because most seem to find slightly more advanced git like squash and fixup and cherry picking to be impossibly hard.

      Unfortunately, GitLens is by GitKraken. Seems like they might not restrict it for private repos, though, I’ll check it out.

      This^ plus ungit (especially when things go really bad; e.g. force pull/push) seems to be the current ideal git workflow.

      Hopefully this project will change that though!

    There is Fork. But sadly, it is not available for Linux. Git-fork.com

    source

    • TwinHaelix@reddthat.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Fork is only “free” in that the evaluation period is indefinite. This is generous and clicking through the nag isn’t a huge deal, but I develop on both Linux and Windows and I need a client that supports both.

    Thank you so much!

    I have a GitHub sponsors page (unsure if i can link it here) under this same name.

    Sublime merge has been really good. It’s a free trial like sublime text

    @TwinHaelix @TheCommieAxolotl

    I also loved git kraken but due to the pay walls and stuff, I switched to GitAhead and found it to be similar enough and have been using it for things/projects when I find lazygit to be inadequate.

    source

    • TwinHaelix@reddthat.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      You maybe know this but GitAhead was discontinued, but the maintained fork is called Gittyup: github.com/Murmele/Gittyup

  BTW, website “link to source code” is broken.
