Jon, it's impressive how you deliver incredibly performant cross-platform UIs. You really should consider talking about your development and custom widget toolkit. Great job on Sublime Merge.

I've never experienced a non-performant cross-platform UI. Well, to be honest I've heard of folks complaining about Electron apps, but are easy enough to avoid. Oh yeah and Swing was a bit sluggish… in the 90s. What am I missing?

Still no answers but a lot of malicious downvotes.

For my needs, GitX (rowanj fork) is still unbeat: http://rowanj.github.io/gitx/ It has the exact right amount of UI complementing the command line, and some delightful features, e.g. amending the last commit is possible via a checkbox below the commit message. What I don't like about Sublime and now Sublime Merge, is the unusual way of setting preferences by editing files. I understand that hacking in a JSON file has…

Since you are on a Mac, did you try Gitup? I am disappointed that Sublime Merge didn't take clues from Gitup's interface. I feel it's the most unobtrusive and efficient git GUI to exist.

Agree, Gitup is quite brilliant.

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

Is there any official channel for feedback? I just opened this on my repo and there's 3 immediate things I noticed: 1. The commit message UI sprouts a subtle 72 column marker when I put text in it, which is nice. But what it's missing is the even more subtle 50 column marker that I expect for the first line. Standard git commit style says the first line should try to be shorter than 50 chars because it's frequently s…

https://forum.sublimetext.com/ is the best place for feedback atm.

1. You can setup two rulers via adding "rulers": [50, 72] to Commit Message.sublime-settings, which is available via the Preferences menu.

2. We don't have Swift syntax highlighting out of the box, but if you have it installed for Sublime Text, we'll pick it up

3. Thanks for the report, I'll investigate

I almost purchased before downloading it just because of how much I trust you and your team to make high quality software, and as a way to throw more money in your direction. Been messing with it for a few minutes and it is awesome. Been looking for a good Sublime-like git tool for years.

Thanks for the kind words!

I often commit in a detached HEAD state (primarily because we're using Gerrit, and git-review sort of encourages it). Sublime Merge won't let me commit without being on a branch. Is there any way to get around this?

There isn't right now, but there will be a new build out soon that will work with this.

I built a prototype of it at one point, but was running into performance issues trying to get pixels onto the screen. I'd like to revisit this, as the hidpi experience really is a lot better with GTK3.

Wait... you use GTK on Linux? For what, exactly?

Menus and dialogs (open, save, error, etc) :)

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?

Probably to be read as (very good) (editor integration) rather than (very good editor) integration.

I notice that seats can be changed any time in a Business subscription. Is the end of subscription recalculated each time you add or remove a seat?

The billing period isn't changed, instead a pro-rated amount is changed. For example, if you add a seat half way through the billing period, you'll be changed half the normal amount for it. Reducing seats will result in a pro-rated credit on your next billing cycle.

Why no love for hidpi monitors?

We have hidpi support on every platform.

If your dpi scale isn't being detected correctly on Linux, you can set it explicitly via the dpi_scale setting (there are instructions elsewhere in this thread)
