Hi HN - Jon Skinner here, I made Sublime Text and Sublime Merge, alongside the rest of the Sublime HQ programming team - Will, Dylan and Benjamin. Let me know if you have any questions! Edit: there's also the announcement blog post, at https://www.sublimetext.com/blog/articles/sublime-merge

#202Looks like magit, without the very good editor integration that makes magit awesome. Seems nice tho.
Presumably as time goes on it will become more and more integrated with Sublime Text, which is arguably a "very good editor". Or is that not what you mean?

#203I can't figure out how to configure SSH key or where to find a documentation for the settings file :( EDIT: Ok I found out it just takes the SSH key from ~/.ssh But now it complains about C:\\Program Files\\Sublime Merge \\ssh-askpass-sublime.exe missing.
That exe file is not even in the directory for it.

#204Looks nice but what I really want is a native client that works with github PRs. I know this was probably a design decision to remain a git client not a github one but still.

#205Earlier quoted context omitted.
We built the animations using a slightly enhanced version of anim_encoder, which I currently have online at https://github.com/wbond/anim_encoder . One of the changes was adding pngquant which helped compress the images a bunch beyond pngcrush.
You will get better results by swapping the two. Pngquant stops at color quantization. Also, most of those savings came from near-optimal Deflate compression.

#206Earlier quoted context omitted.
Any plans to switch from Gtk+ 2 to 3 on Linux? Scaling of native dialogs isn't very good with HiDPI displays atm :/
I built a prototype of it at one point, but was running into performance issues trying to get pixels onto the screen. I'd like to revisit this, as the hidpi experience really is a lot better with GTK3.

#207Looks great Jon, happy you are expanding the Sublime family. Can I suggest Sublime Terminal as a possible addition? I'd happily pay for a decent terminal experience on Windows and with your cross platform toolkit it looks like you could deliver that. ConEmu et al just don't do it for me.
+1, windows is unusable without a good terminal - my current favorite is ConEmu but it comes with some quirks.

Been messing with it for a few minutes and it is awesome. Been looking for a good Sublime-like git tool for years.
