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

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.

I'm curious how that comment was taken as being a dick as well. Your original statement was fine, the follow-up was fine, from my POV. If anything, the comment about forking and requiring was dickish. /shrug

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…

I like SourceTree, and use it full time, but man does it have some annoying limitations. Like selecting a number of branches from the sidebar and deleting all of them. Something where a GUI should clearly be superior. But SourceTree doesn't allow you to do it. Or customizable Toolbar buttons to launch scripts and automate tasks.

I'd love to see an opinionated git GUI that doesn't aim to replicate all the features of the command line, but instead focuses on streamlining the daily work of a software developer working on features and bugs.

I know it's not a GUI (you'd class it as a TUI, I guess), but Tig is fantastic. I use it in combination with the command line, mainly for quickly viewing recent commits, diffs and staging hunks. https://github.com/jonas/tig

I love using tig, but never knew that it had the ability to stage files. Will definitely check that out. Thanks for the heads up!

Yep, just press 'u' when looking at staged/unstaged diffs

Heads up - Gitlab doesn't support this release, 9.5.0 should support it. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/13344

To be clear, this is only relevant for Windows. Otherwise, GitLab will work fine with clients on 2.14.0. See https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/13344

Just FYI: GitLab 9.5 that works in all cases will be released in two weeks on August 22.

magit. Worth installing emacs just for that.
