A few things on that list which seem useful, but there are a lot more services on that list than actual tools.

BTW, what is the best Git GUI on Mac? I don't care about price. I have always used the command line, but many operations would be faster with a mouse.

vim/vimdiff -- just trolling, but it's what I use :)

Everyone else I work with uses: http://www.kaleidoscopeapp.com

If you work in in any sort of time-sheets based model: WakaTime (https://wakatime.com/) is indispensable.

I've tried most of them and I keep coming back to SmartGit (http://syntevo.com).

I was surprised to see the mention of Rollout which I hadn't heard of which claims to allow you to push hot fixes to native iOS apps. Although I've been out of the iOS game for a while, I recalled this being against Apple's ToS. Apparently this is is still true to some degree, but they have an interesting blog post about how they can work around these restrictions. https://blog.rollout.io/2016/01/updating-apps-withou…

TLDR; it's because they're not pushing new features but rather bug fixing through the proper channels (Webkit framework or JavascriptCore).

The interesting bit being that they can patch native methods using JS. You have to write a specific patch in JS though and still fix the original native code before pushing out the next version.
