Octohub – The missing app for GitHub

Re: Octohub – The missing app for GitHub
#22I'm confused: GitHub already has an app for the Mac[0]. It's fast. It's compact & doesn't waste screen real estate. It's stable. And it's updated very frequently. Sure, it may not have all the features that the site has but it excels at being that convenience bridge between what's on my filesystem and what's on the site. [0] https://mac.github.com
No this seems to be a pointless replacement for the website browsing of repos. Utterly pointless

#23I don't understand why so much hate. If you don't like it or feel the need for such an app no one is forcing you to use it.

Because it's essentially a "show HN" of an app that doesn't solve a problem (or at least doesn't explain how it does). HN is a place for healthy debate, no? Nobody said, "sucks" and moved on. In most comments, there's at least a reason stated for why this is either confusing, pointless, or unnecessary.

Huh? you can push from your local repo to the remote, and it makes partial commits and other stuff a lot easier

#26Re: Octohub – The missing app for GitHub
#27The site lets you download the app, run the app, log in to GitHub, and _THEN_ asks you for a beta invite code. There's almost no info about it on it's homepage, so why post the link at all?
Came here to say this. I'm rather annoyed at the bait-and-switch here.

#28What could this app possibly do that isn't possible on Mavericks?
Probably the (nonessential) frosted visual effect in the menu. Other than that, I have no idea.
Re: Octohub – The missing app for GitHub
#29I like the functionality, but I'm not keen on the title of this post or the fact that it's an app only.
If you like the app, though, you might want to check out Astral (https://astralapp.com). Extremely similar functionality, but Astral runs in your browser.

#30Earlier quoted context omitted.
I havent tried the grandparent's software, but if I was going to use a native app I would probably try github's first. https://windows.github.com/ https://mac.github.com/ I have shown the windows version to a few people and they grokked git a lot better than if I tried via the standard toolkit.
Github's app lets you push and pull and do some minor work on your repositories. the Octohub app lets you search projects and stalk people.
Alrighty then, a much more social aspect.
I stand corrected!
