|Github for Mac is awesome!
Wednesday, June 22nd, 2011
Let’s say your are lazy and you don’t like using Terminal to commits on GitHub (I assume that if you are smart enough to use Git, you are also smart enough to use GitHub for your repositories). Let’s say you aren’t an hard core coder (like myself) and you pick your software based on its look and feel. Well, today GitHub released their GitHub for Mac, their spanking new native mac client. I didn’t play with it a lot yet, but for what I’ve seen so far it works great, and it’s complemented by a very elegant and intuitive interface.
I honestly don’t know yet if I will completely substitute Terminal for my commits and GitHub browsing, but I’ll definitely give it a try for a while.
Here’s some screenshots:

Tower, a new Mac client for Git
Monday, November 1st, 2010
I know, I know, enough with these Git clients, use that damn Terminal app! I see your point but for a lot of designers and non-terminal people, having a user-friendly client can be a great way to be introduced to Git. A few weeks ago I was asked to beta test Tower, a soon-to-be released Git client for OS X that is easy to use yet very powerful. The interface is a little more elaborated than other clients like Gity or Gitty, but it that doesn’t seem to affect the ease of use. At the same time, if you like minimal interfaces, you may like Gity’s simplicity better.
On top of the regular Git functions, some of the nice features offered by Tower are a repository manager to keep track of your repos, direct integration with Github, and a stash support.
Tower should be released in November, if you want to read more about it you can visit http://git-tower.com.

Gity, a Git client for OS X
Wednesday, May 26th, 2010
Since we started working on Get Apps Done, I had to deal with Git. I never used Git before that, but Heroku, a great platform for hosting Ruby on Rails projects, forced me to. Using Git isn’t too complex, but when you start getting errors or merging problems, then a nice interface would be very helpful. The first client I tried was Git GUI, not really an eye candy but it was getting the job done, but still it didn’t offered me a nice and clear interface for Git. GitX, another Mac OS X Git client, was definitely a great UI improvement, but it was somehow incomplete for what I needed. Finally I recently discovered Gity, in my opinion, a very well done Mac OS X client. The interface is very Apple-ish, and it makes easier to solve problem even for a designer like me. While it had a $18 price tag until recently, now Gity is free and open source, and you can download it from Mac Endeavor’s site.
