No dark theme in the tryout version, that's evil. I love Sublime Text and I believe that Sublime Merge will surely do an exceptional job, but I love my eyes even more, so I'll pass this time.

#22Hi HN - Jon Skinner here, I made Sublime Text and Sublime Merge, alongside the rest of the Sublime HQ programming team - Will, Dylan and Benjamin. Let me know if you have any questions! Edit: there's also the announcement blog post, at https://www.sublimetext.com/blog/articles/sublime-merge
Hi Jon, we currently use Gitkraken, which allows us to manage submodules. I can't seem to find this functionality in sublime merge, do you know if this is something you guys have thought about and if it will be released any time soon?

#23> "The evaluation version is fully functional, but is restricted to the light theme only."
They really know their target audience.

#24Bet there was some gnashing about how to name this. Sublime Merge makes it sound like it's in the established genre of general text diffing/merging application, rather than a git GUI.
Regardless, personally very likely to use this!

#25Very nice. Fast and responsive, unlike most of the Git clients I know. And the new preferences UI is pretty cool. A couple questions: * Can I add custom themes from my Sublime Text installation? How about color schemes? * Are there plans for plugin support? * Is there a development channel? * Have you thought about adding tabs? * Have you considered showing previews of binary files?
Custom themes are supported (although not in the evaluation version), however Sublime Text themes will need to be adapted to work in Sublime Merge: there's quite a bit more to the UI here, and the controls to target are quite different. Likewise with color schemes, as long as they define the new diff scopes, color schemes can be used, however none of the existing ones will yet. Syntax definitions, on the other hand, don't need any changes, and any you have installed for Sublime Text will be picked up automatically by Sublime Merge.
Plugin support is on the roadmap, and tabs will be added if that's what the user feedback asks for.
There's no dev channel yet, but we'll be adding one soon.

Sublime Merge understands submodules, but we don't expose a UI for managing them yet. This is right near the top of our priority list though.

Agree to this.

#28This looks really good. I'm trying it out now, and my main immediate pain point is that there is too little visual separation between staged and unstaged files. A horizontal divider or a slight change in background color could be useful.

#29Wow, Sublime Merge is so much smoother than GitKraken, great job! I love that it takes everything we know and like about ST and applies it to Git. It even seamlessly finds my Sublime Text packages, and uses the syntax definitions installed there for highlighting - no duplicate/double configuration required.
GitKraken is a web-based application built on Electron, which is why it is slow. Same thing with Slack. What Jon and his team do is always build native and as you are probably already well aware, Sublime Text Editor performance is consistent across all operating systems.

Hi Jon, the app looks great. Does it currently support GitFlow?
