Actually it has many cool features:
* Syntax highlighting * Interactive rebase * Merge conflict resolver * Side-by-side diff * Code mini-map on scrollbars * Light and Dark themes * GitHub notifications * Image diff * Tabbed interface * Ability to star/pin important branches * GPG support * Commit templates
And yeah, it's native, not an Electron app

#4I switched to Fork a few months ago from GitKraken. Fork is faster and it's using much less memory, it's nice to see developers who still care about usability and performance rather than about development speed.

#5Looks nice, It doesn't seem to like git protocol v2 in git 2.18.

Not yet. Git 2.18 has been released just a week ago :).

#7Switched 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.

#8This 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.

#9Two questions:
1) Does it have a side-by-side diff?
2) If not, can I plug my own app?

There's side-by-side diff (it appears on spacebar press). You can also use external diff tools.
Update: both features are available in Mac version and will appear on Windows platform soon.
