This looks sweet! I use git quite lightly right now as I'm currently the only developer on my project. Gitup.co is the benchmark of Git apps for me right now. I barely need anything more than it and it's so incredibly light feeling. Like the app goes out of the way so that I can do what I need, such as reviewing lines to be staged.

It hasn't been receiving many updates unfortunately. I'm happy that another app has popped up! Looking forward to try it out.

How much faster is it than competitors?

Yeah, not sure what "fast" refers to.

The web page lacks any screenshots of the change staging screens.

I have been using atlassian sourcetree for quite a while. It has very similar look and feel :)

I suggest not using the magnifying glass icon for the repo favorites. It is confusing especially because you have a search field already on the right hand side. Might I suggest a star icon or a list icon for the list of repos?

I normally use the command line for everything but I do use a graphical git UI (magit). It's so much better for staging and rebasing/fixups.

The only thing that jumps out at me is the visual of the git tree diagram on the left - other than that why not just use the command line?

Am I missing something?

For anyone looking for a Mac graphical git client, I should mention GitBox here (http://gitboxapp.com) as I've used it for years to augment the command line. Not all the GUI clients for git are useful, but I really like GitBox. Right mix of features.
