Which fork of GitX would you recommend?

Maintaining a tool like this is basically unpleasant. You either need to be maintaining it for internal customers in a large company, or you need to sell it as a product - in other words, it's one of those products you really want to get paid for.

Maybe having a paid project will help keep this app actively developed.



Brotherbard's fork has a bunch of additional features and I've found it to be pretty stable. I use it daily and highly recommend it.

Another good tool that works on all platforms is smartgit: http://www.syntevo.com/smartgit/index.html


It is subject to a German license agreement...


And the specific problem there is?


+1 brotherbard's fork is awesome. Gitx is all I need dev a Ruby dev.
