Earlier quoted context omitted.

Interactive rebase is absolutely coming (you can already edit commit messages and squash commits). UI support for Git Flow is going to depend on user feedback. I expect we will eventually, but even if not, we will be adding a plugin API, and it would naturally be doable via that.

I have to pay for a dark theme? seriously? You should sell features like in-app-purchases then. $1.99 for this, $.99 for that, etc. $80, $99.... man your software is really really good, but when there's free competitors that are on par w/yours, those prices are steep imo. I know you've heard all this before... guess the hundred dollar dark theme got me

For my needs, GitX (rowanj fork) is still unbeat: http://rowanj.github.io/gitx/ It has the exact right amount of UI complementing the command line, and some delightful features, e.g. amending the last commit is possible via a checkbox below the commit message. What I don't like about Sublime and now Sublime Merge, is the unusual way of setting preferences by editing files. I understand that hacking in a JSON file has…

For what it’s worth, the currently developed version of GitX (which I use daily) is at https://github.com/gitx/gitx . You’ll have to build it yourself, but it’s in a much better shape than the rowanj fork.

99$ for a git client. Nice joke.

You are a software developer who doesn't respect the value of good software?

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

I work a lot with repos with very long line lengths (regularly up to 10k characters) and have to often check and merge multiple changes per line. I really like Git clients that can do one or all of these things: - Block a small threshold of vertical scrolling when scrolling horizontally on a trackpad to stop the current line I‘m tracking wavering up and down as I scroll. - Highlight whether there are further changes…
