Hi 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

Any plans to switch from Gtk+ 2 to 3 on Linux? Scaling of native dialogs isn't very good with HiDPI displays atm :/

Congratulations for launching another promising product Jon. I tried it on Linux and couldn't figure out a way to scale the interface on a higher resolution screen. Increasing the font size only scales half of the UI. Is there any hidden setting to scale or zoom in/out?

You can use the dpi_scale setting for this in Sublime Merge and Sublime Text, but you'll have to restart after changing it. You'll need to edit the JSON settings directly for this (via Preferences/Edit Settings), and then set dpi_scale to something reasonable, such as 1.25

Looks great Jon, happy you are expanding the Sublime family. Can I suggest Sublime Terminal as a possible addition? I'd happily pay for a decent terminal experience on Windows and with your cross platform toolkit it looks like you could deliver that. ConEmu et al just don't do it for me.

Kind of curious, what don't you like about ConEmu?

I've been using it for many months now and it's been nothing but solid.

I spend 99% of the time using the WSL terminal, and every once in a while I run a PowerShell terminal too.

Just search your inbox for "sublime license", and copy the license into Sublime. The whole operation takes me below 1 minute on a new machine.

It'd be nice if there was a command line option for this actually. I have my machine setup almost entirely automated, but this is one of the manual steps I have to do.

Completely off topic but would you care to describe how you install your system automatically?

Hi Jon, amazing work! I am happy to try this out as I'm starting to get annoyed with SourceTree, it often hangs on me.

Is there a way to delete a local tracking branch and its corresponding branch on the origin in one operation? I often use this when cleaning up old branches that have been merged into the main development lines.

Really, and its a terrible reason to write an entirely other app, but I just don't like the styling on the tabs :/ That tabbed Windows GUI is just so damn ugly it actually distracts me.

Shameless plug: if you're looking for a file manager inspired by ST, check out (my) https://fman.io

I don't really have a use case for a file manager, but I love your https://fman.io/blog/transparency/#open-source-promise :)

Thanks! :-)

Awesome stuff, I'm loving it! I guess it's time do finally ditch GitKraken and SourceTree (: I have a couple questions: - Do you have a plan to add git flow integration? And what about interactive rebases? - Please, please, allow free users to use dark theme as well! Sublime Text license was really great, why add such a small change?

Interactive rebase is absolutely coming (you can already edit commit messages and squash commits). UI support for Git Flow is going to depend on user feedback. I expect we will eventually, but even if not, we will be adding a plugin API, and it would naturally be doable via that.

How do you squash commits?

I would keep an eye out on alacritty. It's a blazingly fast gpu-accelerared terminal emulator for Unix (currently) written in rust. According to their 0.2.0 announcement post, where they added scrollback support, Windows is next on the Roadmap.

Thanks, I think I'd seen this one in the past but had ruled it out due to no Windows support (at the time). Edit: Ah, also "doesn't have features such as tabs" ruled it out for me.

Alacritty isn't actually super fast, the author just opened three other emulators and decided to call Alacritty "the fastest terminal emulator on earth".

Kitty is much more full-featured and super fast. I've switched to it and love it to bits.

EDIT: Ah, it's not available for Windows, too bad. It's the best.

What! You guys are based in Sydney?!?!? Never knew that. Great to see my favourite tool being built in my city! :)
