Straight to payment for me. Sublime Text is one of the few pieces of software I've just felt was done totally right at so many levels. Entirely happy to give you more of my money.

Same here. I expect to actually use SM, but even if I don't, happy to contribute a bit more to the folks who make ST (which I use all day, every day).

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.

> doesn't have features such as tabs The lack of tabs is a feature for some of us. After all, why have tabs when you can have tmux? :)

I needs to connects to multiple servers at the same time, and tmux sessions shouldn't be stacked. How can I do that without tabs?

Looks like magit, without the very good editor integration that makes magit awesome. Seems nice tho.

Presumably as time goes on it will become more and more integrated with Sublime Text, which is arguably a "very good editor".

Or is that not what you mean?

One possible issue, I've got a file showing in "Untracked Files" which is not shown when do git status That aside, I like this a lot, and normally I only use the git command line.

I had a bunch of files showing as untracked. Looks like Sublime Merge is not ignoring files listed in the global .gitignore.

It would be cool to have some integration going the other way. In particular I would love: 1. If Sublime Text could detect when a directory is a git root directory, and present a button to "open in sublime merge" (my sublime projects often span multiple git repos, so detection on a folder by folder basis would be key). The ability to configure this to use another git client would make sense, although personally Subli…

This a million time. With VSCode being more popular than sublime text now, not having first class git integration just after installing sublime text is a serious reason not to use it.

SublimeGit?

Had a little play with it and it's looking really promising. I'm probably going to stick to the terminal for simpler stuff, but this tool will definitely help pry me away from Gitlab, and the merge conflict resolution feature looks so much better than my current workflow. I have a question, or rather a request. As a long term Sublime Text user I like to hide the menu bar which you can't seem to do in Sublime Merge. W…

Absolutely, I'll add it to the list.

While you are fielding little requests, I'd personally like to be able to collapse/expand the areas in the "Location Bar" pane/drawer on the left (where branches/tags/stashes are listed). For instance, I often have a lot of local branches and would like to be able to focus on them rather than the remote branches. As it stands there isn't much vertical real estate for each of the lists, and there doesn't appear to be a way to resize/collapse them. SourceTree on Mac treats these as collapsible in an accordion-like way, which I personally like, but I'm sure there would be other good approaches too.

Not a huge problem because there's the cool branch list/switcher at top center, so maybe will find myself working with the Location Bar hidden mostly.

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

Hi Jon,

One feature that's missing from most of the git clients I use is the ability to do "branch1...branch2" diffs, ie, diff two branches from a common starting point but only show the new changes in branch2. Do you think this will be possible in Sublime Merge at some point?

the light UI theme is great (as is the app itself), is there something similar available for ST?

If you’re asking seriously... tmux has a unique interface which is probably not worth learning merely for the purpose of managing multiple active sessions. You also can’t wire it to accept proper GUI commands with the mac command key. Tabs make sense.

Personally I recommend Terminal.app :)
