I will try it out immediately, but I am surprised GitSavvy[1] was not even mentioned in this thread. It's by far my everyday package, and it fits very nicely. It's the only thing in a way of really wanting this. [1]: https://github.com/divmain/GitSavvy

GittySavvy is excellent.

$99 for this? When there's git cli, magit, fugitive (which you should be using if you're really really in need of a GUI (and which is also better than whatever the demo is showing))? I'm all for paying for your tooling if you can afford it but overcharging much?

It is essentially free unless you want the ability to customize the colours. This is even more generous than SublimeText. Not even nagging popups.

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

Where are the various options and the like documented?

I'd like to add a custom command for pulling a specified branch from a remote, and given the extensibility of Sublime Text, I think there's a way to do that, but I'm not yet sure how to find it all?

Also, count me as a vote for a high performance Sublime Terminal. I'd pay for that in a heartbeat.

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

The light theme uses the Breakers color scheme from Sublime Text 3 for the editor controls. Many of the other colors are pulled from the Default theme in Sublime Text. This includes the colors of the commit list which is based on the side bar in ST, and the command palette.

I work a lot with repos with very long line lengths (regularly up to 10k characters) and have to often check and merge multiple changes per line. I really like Git clients that can do one or all of these things:

- Block a small threshold of vertical scrolling when scrolling horizontally on a trackpad to stop the current line I‘m tracking wavering up and down as I scroll.

- Highlight whether there are further changes on the same line in some way (e.g. Git Fork starts a highlight at the first change and stops it at the last).

- Allow some sort of merge comparison with word wrapping turned on (I‘m yet to find a client that does this).

If you can get the first, and one of the second or third in, then I‘ll happily pick up a Sublime Merge licence to go with my Sublime Text one. I do understand that this isn‘t a typical merge environment, but I’m editing ebooks with long paragraphs.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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?

It's really nothing fancy, just based on strap[1] but then modified a bit. I keep my dotfiles in github and leverage homebrew for installing pretty much everything.

How do I filter the visual branch view to only display the commits from the branch I've selected or highlighted? Fork has a filter icon for this, and Tower does this by default (preferred).

My repo at work has a lot of branches and contributors so I really only want to see a linear history of my branch.
