How it differs from magit or fugitive except price? I've tried magit and fugitive for some time, but as for me, adding this plugins to workflow just complicates tasks related to VCS. At the time of this writing, whichever editor/IDE I use, my VCS stay in command line.

> my VCS stay in command line You probably don't realize how much this slows you down.

I have tried plenty of GUI clients, but I am the fastest with git in the command-line hands down. git has quite a good user interface for command line use with its hunk-based staging, drop to $EDITOR to quickly edit a diff, etc.

Also, there is completion for git in shells such as bash and zsh.

Wow, this crap even charges 10 bucks? There was a open source Git plugin for Sublime long time ago. https://github.com/kemayo/sublime-text-git

Are you saying that because it's actually crap or you just don't want to spend money on software?

I am bit bummed that you have to pay for Git interface. Yeah, it is just 10€ / user, but still. You even get full games for 99 cents these days. And shouldn't this be a default feature in the first place. Anyway, no-one is forcing anyone to buy it, so all good.

I hope that for 10€ most people will find it worth it. If you've already spent 60$ or more on Sublime Text and upgrades, I can see why this might seem weird. However, as the homepage says you can basically install it and use it for free as long as you like. You'll get a popup occasionally (if you do use it), but that's the only "restriction". Also, for a free alternative, I have to mention https://github.com/kemayo/s…

Yes. Yes. Basically this doesn't differ at all from buying an audio workstation software (Reaper from Cockos) and a VST plugin (The Oddity from GForce). Coming from Linux and OSS just easily gives the first impression of "how dare they charge for that?!".

So, as I said: all good :)

The existing git sublime plugin shows a diff when committing. That on it's own is enough to keep me using it instead of switching, which is a shame as this does everything else better

You can actually turn on verbose commit messages by using the setting git_commit_verbose . Have a look in the default config for SublimeGit. If you do that, it'll add the diff, and even syntax highlight it for you.

awesome, thanks. I have no idea why that wouldn't be on by default. Can't imagine anyone getting annoyed by having it there.

Looks good, I'll give it a try, but I have to mention this plugin as it deserves all the praise it can get!: https://github.com/jisaacks/GitGutter http://www.jisaacks.com/gitgutter

I used that for quite a while before I discovered Modific (https://github.com/gornostal/Modific). Similar functionality, except you can hit a shortcut and see what was on that line before the change - pretty useful stuff!

Looks like a great job, and good man for giving a shout out to the free alternative as well. As an existing user of Kemayo's plugin, what are the most compelling reasons for me to buy your version? An elevator pitch, if you will.
