Gitkraken macos12/23/2023 ![]() ![]() To be explicit, I do not merely mean in SourceTree. Than blaming someone else via snarky links to bug trackers then giving up.Ītlassian “solving” their clients’ problems by complaining and buck-passing might work if this bug were an amusing cosmetic quirk, but in fact, the side-effects of said bug can be about as bad as it is possible for a software bug to be. Since that bug dates to 2011, clearly most other developers on the macOS platform have found more efficacious workarounds Sourcetree devs claim that is an upstream macOS bug, and while I am prepared to believe them that Apple has done a bad thing, the developer’s management of this issue is also a bad thing. On macOS it leaks file handles, which can crash the computer and cause data loss, either in Source tree and/or in other apps, and it has done that since 0. It has excellent interactive rebase support.īut it often crashes half way through said rebase. It also supports mercurial, which is nice if increasingly irrelevant. ![]() Two, which is slightly disconcerting but not a showstopper. Memory usage and responsiveness can be improved by restarting it every hour or Like all the other fancy contenders it uses gigantic amounts of RAM. This is Atlassian’s git client for Windows and macOS. Somewhere between Smartgit and Gitkraken in usability is ⭐️ OK UI but it intermittently freezes your machine and corrupts data. To that end, it should ideally ease the use of git without hiding the details of the git command-line, because in our line of work you will always need the command-line eventually. I would personally like one that was comprehensible and attractive, because a major use of these things is teaching student and on-boarding colleagues and everything goes so much faster if you have a nice interactive visualisation, and it is shiny and colourful. ![]() There are too many, although not so many that are good for my purpose. If you have an afternoon to burn you could start there. To go from the magically simple, speedy exuberance of the git command-line client, to one with better visualisation and more discoverable UX, you must sacrifice time and disk space upon the altar of bloat.Īnyway, there are is a long list, and also a longer list of alternative git GUIs but the [ extremely long list on Wikipedia is the most current, which is helpful in this rapidly moving area. Is remarkable for how smooth, fast, and tiny it is as a command-lineīecause of some as-yet unarticulated conservation law, this means that all the GUIs for it are clunky, slow, and bloated. ![]()
