Heads up - Gitlab doesn't support this release, 9.5.0 should support it.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Are you assuming people's genders?

If I assumed their genders, I would have said so few female contributors, but I don't know their genders, so I didn't say that.

You probably shouldn't act like a dick online with your linkdin page in your bio dude. Just a tip.

Does anyone here have suggestions for git GUI? I used SourceTree for a few years, but a while back they started adding a bunch of tracking scripts, which I'm uncomfortable with. I can generally get by fine with the CLI, but whenever I need to do anything even slightly unfamiliar, I like being able to put on training wheels and have a GUI guide the way.

I think git would benefit from a type of "training wheels" config, where no action is destructive or irreversible. I've had a few close calls where I almost lost some code due to a git screw-up. Luckily, my local Time Machine backups have always saved my ass.

I use gitk a lot, available on all platforms. I also use GitX to edit my commits, on macOS. Some people look very satisfied by the git GUI built-in in VSCode.

I'm using Visual Studio Code and gitg. The latter is only available for Linux and Windows though.

I guess I'm striking a nerve this morning and am extra dense. my apologies. I guess people think I'm trolling but that wasn't my intention. Can you explain how I'm being a dick? I'm serious.

Tracking scripts? Can you expand on that? Legitimately curious as a user of SourceTree.

Git Tower is the best-designed git GUI for Mac. It's wonderful.
