While it's tagline is "the most powerful git client for Mac" I also think it's one of the easiest to use. I know you're after OSS/free, but still think this is a useful contribution, even if just for others looking for Git apps (student/education discounts available too).
#GITX WITH NEW VERSIONS OF MAC FREE#
I switched to Tower after I got fed up with the free options. I'm thinking KISS principle here for people that do not use version control for anything else and just want to "upload" their websites. I'm looking for something more pared down that only covers the basics and is better suited for a specific task than at running with the big dogs.

What client software should I point them to?Įdit: Most suggestions to date seem to focus on full-blown frontends to all of Git's functionality. Open source would be preferred, but any reputable freeware would be acceptable. It also gives the clone/remote URLs for each project and makes it fairly easy to check what the status of the remote repository is. There is a GitLab instance available for each client that has one project per domain and makes adding their public key fairly easy. has a simple interface where a basic workflow of committing and pushing is easy to accomplish without understanding the intricacies of distributed version control.…authentication using an RSA key pair (generation of this would be a bonus).makes it relatively simple to setup and initialize….I am looking to suggest a Git client for OS X that: Any commits to the master branch pushed by the authorized key trigger a hook script that deploys the site to the production servers. Changes need to be pushed to a remote repository that is accessible only via SSH key login. In fact, there is no access at all to the front-end server. The situation is that several clients have developed website(s) of the mostly static HTML sort, but the server they need deploy to doesn't have your usual collection of 1990s protocols available (for example, no FTP). Looks nice, but less powerful than GitX.Personally I'd just pop open a terminal and brew-up the usual *nix shell tools, but I need to make a software recommendation to some clients that need something a bit more newbie friendly. gitnub: A Ruby app with a Cocoa user interface.It's well worth checking out brotherbard's version of GitX which has some cracking extra features. In combination with the command line I can do everything I need. GitX: A native Cocoa app, it's fast and has a great user interface.

Since then git viewers on the Mac have moved on considerably. I wrote this post well over a year ago, but for some reason forgot to post it. Restart gitk, et voila! Alternatives to gitk If you've not got the Inconsolata font installed, Monaco makes a good substitute. Open it in your editor and change the first three lines to something like this: set mainfont The first time you run gitk it creates a.

If you've seen the PeepCode git screencast you'll be aware of this one already (all credit goes to Geoffrey).

If it works, avoid re-typing that the next time you login by adding an alias to your ~/.bashrc file: alias gitk="/usr/bin/wish $(which gitk)"įrom the next time you log in gitk won't look (quite so) crap when you start it from the command line.

A different version of Tk (that you might have installed with MacPorts or homebrew?) is probably what's making it look ugly. You need to launch gitk with the version of Tk that came with your Mac. Step 1: Running gitk with native Mac buttons I managed to get mine looking slightly less rough:

Does your version of gitk look like Windows 95's ugly step sister? Would you rather it used native buttons and widgets, and a half decent font?
