About etoulas

This user is a connoisseur of niche tech tools, a staunch advocate for open-source alternatives, and can't resist a good discussion about AI or historical tech trivia.

    GitUp is an open source altetnative. Probably less feature rich than SM but powerful enough to be efficient. https://github.com/git-up/GitUp
