What distinguishes it from TortoiseGit on Windows?
Judging solely from screenshots I’d say the biggest difference is that it is not a shell extension but a self contained program.

#12Looks nice and clean, although useless for me as a Linux user.
The one thing I use graphical git client for is resolving merge issues, so something lightweight is nice. Currently I just do it in IntelliJ and hope I already have the project opened.
As a side note, I guess the images on the website are fairly small, but they pay for it with tons of jpeg artifacts which does not look clean.

#13From a brief use, it looks good, definitely a lot faster than something like Gitkraken. I'll be happy to see where you guys take this project.

That's why Electron GUIs are good. People say they are bloated, but at least the program is available for Linux as well.

#15Just downloaded it cause SourceTree has been getting slower and more temperamental over time. Seems fantastic and very fast thus far, I'll be testing it more extensively over the coming weeks and might well switch to this. Beautiful work!

Also it's really helpful if you have heaps of repos and want a centralised view and to quickly switch from one to the other with Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+O

#17Why do merge tools pretend that "their" and "our" or "remote" and "local" are good labels? Can they not show the commit message and hash? Nowadays with history editing often both sides are local and mine.

Also would love a GitFlow integration like the one you get in SourceTree [1] or Tower [2].

And then they get misspelled as "their's" and "our's".

Did you see the screenshots? Looks like it shows the branches at least.
