Posted by3 years ago

Nearly 1 year ago, I evaluated multiple Git GUI clients and SmartGit is the one that resonated with me the most, from the beginning with the good 'search for repos to open' to the various advanced features.

Hi guys.

I’m developing a new Git GUI client for Mac. It’s free and I’m working on it in my spare time. I called it Fork.

In addition to this it has an iOS companion App (BTT Remote) which can also be configured to control your Mac the way you want. These Magic Mouse gestures are customizable: • Pinch in / out (zoom). This great tool also allows you to configure actions for keyboard shortcuts, normal mice buttons and the Apple Remote. Download better touch tool for mac.

I’m trying to make user interface as friendly as possible. The client is still more like a proof-of-concept (though I’m using it daily on my job) and is not ready to be shown publicly yet.

I’d like to show it to git enthusiasts and get the feedback in the early stages. If you are interested, please put your email on the website and I’ll give you access to the app.

Any advices, ideas or suggestions are welcome. Thank you in advance.

Here is the link to the website: http://git-fork.com.
