This seems interesting for day-to-day operations, as a replacement for Tower or SourceTree! However an app I've found really helps with arcane Git incantations (anything that rewrites history) is GitUp for macOS. I've always found it underappreciated. http://gitup.co

Git fork actually has more features than gitup and runs with lower ram. You can try it out to see what I mean

Switched to Fork from GitX and couldn't be happier (and I won't miss the hunt for whatever GitX fork is the most up to date when reinstalling) The interactive rebase is awesome and it even makes a backup tag for you. Btw Dan I will gladly pay for a licence when/if you decide to make it a paid app.

What made you pick gitx today compared to other (free) alternatives?

Speed. Simplicity. And RAM usage.

Single best feature: It's not an Electron app.

How does this "feature" make your life better?

I'd guess better performance, more responsiveness, less wasted resources (RAM, disk space, etc) and longer battery life and less fan noise for laptops.
