I can only get "Stage lines" for files I previously commited. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but if I add a new file the only options are Delete or Stage. Or maybe it isn't implemented yet.

Here is how it looks for me. https://imgur.com/a/qZprpJT

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

Looks like I have to be "that one", this time: Given there's a custom Git library in use under the hood, I don't suppose there'll be Mercurial support in the future?

+1 for Mercurial support. I suspect there are enough Google and Facebook engineers using Mercurial to justify basic support :).

Some feedback: I have a project containing a large (multiple MB) text file. Running Ubuntu 18.04. When there is a change to that file, Sublime Merge's UI becomes fairly unresponsive, with many actions taking multiple seconds to complete.

If you pay for it you get the dark theme, which is reasonable, people have bills to pay.

make it demoware until paid, don't hold dark theme ransom I didn't even give it a shot once I saw that I deleted it.

but they did ?

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

Thanks. That worked out perfectly!

How does it compare to Fork? My currently favorite Git client.

Never heard of it before. It looks good. Is it really free?

I certainly never paid nor have I been asked to pay. It works great for me. /shrugs

I would definitely love to have tabs for multiple repositories. Source tree on windows has this which is great for managing lots of different projects, but infuriatingly on osx sourcetree has one window for each project.

Ctrl+Shift+O to switch repositories mostly works for me.

If only SM remembered the exact view that was open in the repository you re-open and made the name of the currently open repo more prominent - I would be happy to give up the visual tabs.

For me the one and only GUI for Git, is GitUp: https://gitup.co .

GitUp is cool, I particularly love the graph view. It has almost no functionality though. You can't three-way-merge and resolve conflicts in it, nor browse the file tree for any given commit, nor compare any two commits.

It is the only git client I know that makes polishing the commit history (i.e. moving commits around, splitting(!), rewording, editing) pleasant. If only it was available on Windows too...
