Line Committing is a killer feature. Right now, I force myself to check in code for the smallest change because I want my commit to reflect a meaningful change. I could certainly save a lot of time if I had the flexibility to make bunch of changes in the file and then commit them in separate hunks.

There is also "git add -i" for that.

Is there anything like this, but for linux?

They are not GitHub GUI clients, but I like git-cola for preparing commits and Giggle for viewing revision history.

Two annoying things I noticed:

* Spelling correction in commit messages. * Option-Z commits instead of undos when entering a commit message.

I wrote a simple plugin for Sublime Text that opens the GitHub app and it's been working quite well as a replacement for Textmate & Git bundle. There's been a few rare times where I've had to drop back to command line because of crashes, but I'm glad to see it's being maintained and updated.

Something similar: https://github.com/kemayo/sublime-text-2-git

I like the simplicity of Github for Mac. It's a very clean interface. Still, it feels like it's designed for an iPhone screen, not a computer screen. I've been enjoying SourceTree* recently because it shows more on one screen--seems like a good package for when you outgrow Github for Mac.

Great update, I love the line-by-line committing. One thing that would sell me on this app, though, is having an interface for repo issues. Without that, this is more of a "Git for mac" than a "GitHub for mac", in my opinion.

Keep up the great work guys!

I've been using sourcetree lately, really, really enjoying it - though line committing is pretty cool, I have apps hosted in places other than github though.

I love sourcetree, plus it works on my old macbook pro running osx 10.6 in 32-bit.

Github for mac sadly only works for 64 bit machines from what I understand.
