This looks cool. I'm curious if people use Git's tree view, in any form, as part of the regular workflow? If so, how? I have never found it useful, intuitive, or usually readable / parsable. Not the graph drawn on the command line, certainly not Github's tree view GUI of forked projects. I've also only ever worked on a project with one or two main trunk branches (master, and maybe dev), and feature branches, and very…

If you mean the history graph, try gitk (part of the git distribution, but you may need to install a separate git-x11 or similar package).

Onestly, I always found all git interfaces (gui or text based) from just ugly and useless to totally counterintuitive.

With one exception: the only good git ui that I tolerate for its clearance is the eclipse egit plugin

Is anyone aware of a publicly available code base to look into when searching for high quality Qt-based (desktop) applications? Think chromium-quality software quality code base. I am looking for inspiring patterns and also things such as naming schemes as I regularly change my mind when it comes to developing Qt based applications with regard to: - naming things (e.g. should signals/slots be prefixed (sigFoo() -> on…

Virtualbox maybe

This probably the less mobile friendly website I've seen in a while! I'll have to check it in my laptop later on.

I had trouble even on a laptop screen!

I don't know what you talking about, because I has no any issues on laptop.[0]

BTW, Alternatively try read docs directly from repo on GitHub.[1]

qBittorret has always been a bit cutting edge with Qt feature usage, which can be interesting.

not able to comment on code quality.

Looks really close to Sublime Merge[1], which is great. 1: https://www.sublimemerge.com/

After seeing quite a few new Git clients, Sublime Merge is still, imho, the easiest to use

i find magit even better, but of the non-emacs gits porcelains, smerge is way at the top of the heap.

Unfortunately it's not quite as as good as it could be on a 1928x1080 desktop monitor either. I had to zoom to 170% to make it comfortable to read (my eyesight is not great, but not terrible either). And that introduced horizontal scrolling. So I had to drop back down to 150% zoom.
