The best Git client that will never be updated again

This is by far my favorite Git client. It shows how git works conceptually for day to day development: branching, merging, patching, cherry picking, etc. Left is always your local branch. Right is your target branch (local or remote). Blue commits are commits that are on the target branch but not on your local branch. Green commits are ones that are on your branch and not the target branch.

Super simple and very powerful.

In a world where most git clients seem to have been written by super nerds who just can’t help but include every posssible git flag and visualization in their interfaces, this is a breath of fresh air.

Unfortunately, it will also never been updated again. It’s been three years, and the developer has fallen off the face of the planet. I even emailed him about a year ago kindly asking that he consider open sourcing the project.

So, use it while it works. It’s not without bugs, but it is my daily ride or die.
