Useful but crashes all the time

Gitbox is a very nice frontend for git. It provides the usual simple functionality for the most common use cases of git version control. There’s still going to be a number of cases where you need to resort to command line git. But gitbox does provide a nice overview.

The number one nuisance with gitbox is the high frequency of sudden crashes. Gitbox crashes on me about 10 times day. And restarting gitbox usually just makes it crash again. But IF gitbox works, it’s pretty useful.

Merge support is also quite suboptimal. It shows a nice diff but then gives no reasonable integration on how to merge. That should be thought out better to be useful. So git command line is your friend for merging.
