This has been my daily driver ever since Github Desktop dumped native in favor of electron. Zero complaints, it’s pretty awesome.

When it is out of beta, will it be still free? I think I should try something more lightweight than GitKraken, it hangs up more and more often.

This looks super cool - would it be possible to have a linux (ubuntu) build as well?

This looks great! Just wondering what your long term plans are? Are you eventually going to make a business out of it?

I've been working on Fork in my spare time. It would be great if it become something bigger one day. I don't have any particular plans though.

I call it beta because I keep adding new features every release.

Fork might become paid but not in the near future.

Fork is native on both platforms so it will be tricky to implement and maintain a Linux version.

I switched to Fork from SourceTree because it has tabbed interface. My desktop is no longer cluttered with windows! It's been great. One question: How can I commit and push at the same time?

Hi. There are two options: 1. Hold `alt` key when press the commit button, 2. Enable 'Automatically push on commits' in Fork preferences.

Nice job!

I don't usually use a Git client with a UI, but I'm going to be giving this a try on a couple of current projects at work.

You should add a "buy me a coffee/beer" option. I'm sure you'd gain some support
