Or something else?
It's mono/.net, so I can test it on my linux box and push the binary directly to the poor souls on windows :)
Can I ask what sort of features you are going after? (And if there's a git repository available, feel free to just point me at it and ignore my questions.)
The features I'm focusing on are mostly trivial day-to-day operations of your average coder: status, diff, commit, push, fetch, merge, checkout, log. This should be enough to support our (planned) workflow of one public repo per developer + a shared integration repo with restricted push access + active use of topic-branches. We currently use subversion, so real branches + real merges are killer arguments for a switch to git. But we also use tortoisesvn, and the "simplicity" of the gui must be met by some tool. Hence me playing around.... If/when it becomes useful, I'll put it up on http://hjemli.net/git/
I'm just curious. We seem to have a lot of user interface projects going on at once right now (Eclipse plugin, git-gui, gitk, qgit, tig, gitweb, blameview) and everyone's been learning from each other.
Heh, I actually considered calling it yagg (but it doesn't deserve a name yet)
I think the competition is good, there's no clear right way to do things here. As the primary author of git-gui, I do want to try and keep current with what the others are up to. ;-)
Absolutely, nice work btw. -- larsh - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
