I'd wager there was a big meeting at Github recently where someone said "Well, we won't be shipping for linux" and someone else was like, "Wait.. what?"
I'm assuming they're getting rid of all that native code for Windows and Mac and building something new on top of Electron. If so, why there is no Linux distro?!
Is this to serve as an alternative to Source Tree? I always felt, the old Github apps, were kinda behind Source Tree, feature wise and seemed kinda lackluster.
Just signed up. My git functionality is at a level of "can do all of the basic jank easily but need to Google everything else", which I'm super comfortable with, in all honesty.<p>The only thing I really want out of a GUI is a visual diff/comparison tool before pushes. Does anyone have any recommendations for something along these lines?
* No GNU/Linux version<p>* No information whatsoever; not even some screenshots or something<p>* I suspect this won't be open-sourced<p>Dead in the water for me, especially if the third point ends up being reality.
I'm surprised no one mentioned SmartGitHg, much better than GFW and SourceTree.<p>It is Java-based and runs on Win, Mac, and Linux
