Re: GitUp makes Git painless
#72I'm a SourceTree user on Mac. Just tried GitUp out for an hour.
Here are the problems I have with SourceTree:
* Slow as hell
* No/bad keyboard shorts, and setting up custom ones is annoying and buggy
* Uses tons of memory — it eventually gets up to 1 GB after running for a day or two, and my repos are not very big.
My thoughts on GitUp:
* Crazy fast (almost disarmingly so – I think it needs more visual confirmation when things happen)
* Excellent commit/staging view. Reminds me of GitExtensions, a nice Git GUI for Windows
* I love the focus on keyboard shortcuts. They work really well in the commit view
* Map view is truly awful. I get that it's a work in progress, but I have no idea what its organizing principle is. Too much pointless whitespace. It radically overprivileges old branches and commits. I don't see a way to focus on what I did most recently.
* The list of commits (Cmd+D) in the map view is useless

You don't need to make an application closed source to have in app purchases. Look at mobaxterm [ http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/license.html ] It is licensed under GPL version 3. It has a free version and a professional version which cost $69 per user. This does not break the GPL. You may already know this but it seems like a lot of developers think open source mean Free as in cost. [ http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/sel…
Although the GPL allows authors to charge for software, it disposes of all legal copyright protections that make such charges practical. Charging for GPL software doesn't mean anyone will pay you, it just means that everyone will get the free builds from someone else, which is even less desirable than releasing free builds since you lose control of distribution. Look at Red Hat and CentOS for case in point.
umm.. Red Hat seems to be doing ok.

Yeah, Red Hat is really bleeding money from the all the lost sales caused by CentOS. I can't believe they only made a puny 1.53 billion dollar in revenue last year..

"Show, don't tell": that's what the short movie (which is only a screencap, not a marketing promo), and animated GIFs are for :)
Right. So... SHOW and don't tell ;) -- ie Axe/change the heckle raising verbiage. Edit: If you make something great you don't need to brag, it's just great, and people will get that. Edit 2: Think of it like this. You're creating a conversion funnel. People are landing on your page. If 50% of them instantly leave due to the bragging then the conversion funnel is not very optimized. You want as many people as possible…
If you make something great you don't need to brag, it's just great, and people will get that.
If the "brag" is factually correct and doesn't spin or otherwise misrepresent, what's the problem? Some people might be repelled by "brags." Others might be repelled by being overly concerned with someone else's style.
Re: GitUp makes Git painless
#76I realize this is a pretty broad question, but what is it about Git that people find painful ? Could be Stockholm Syndrome on my part, but I have a pretty hard time understanding why someone can't spend a week getting up to speed with a tool they intend to use for years to come.
I still like a GUI from time to time. I use SourceTree. I can use GIT on the command-line and I'm a competent developer but I like to be able to click files and see the changes and just drag them into a commit. It may not be the fastest way, or the most advanced but it works for me.

I hope he's not.
What is wrong for charging money for a product you spend time developing that people want to buy because it provides them value?
Nothing. And don't worry. If this turns out to be successful, the OSS community will copy this idea in no time.

#78When trying to fetch, I get: "Unsupported url protocol."
HTTP/HTTPS, Git and SSH are supported. What's your remote URL? It'd be very helpful if you could take a minute to post a topic at http://forums.gitup.co so I can have a look. Thanks!
It was a syntax error in my ``.git/config``.

Please note that the HN community takes a rather strict approach when moderating comments that contribute noise to the conversation. "Nice article!" comments are routinely downvoted. As is sarcasm, witticisms, memes, references and other styles of comments that occur frequently but do not contribute to the discussion. It's a knowingly doomed attempt to hold back the flood of noise that covers Reddit.

You know RedHat now controls the CentOS project right?
