Hello everyone! I'm Mike, the creator of Glint. I've been slowly working on this project in my spare time, and am proud to finally release it 😄 A GUI for Git is an essential tool for the modern developer, whilst there are several existing options out there, I was frustrated by the lack of one that ticked all the boxes. With Glint I've tried to build something that has all the powerful features required by expert developers, whilst still being accessible to beginners, and with a free option that truly makes it accessible for everyone. I've also put a lot of effort into making it look beautiful and work smoothly, because I believe it is important that the tools we interact with on a daily basis are a joy to use. Glint features: - A graph showing commits, branches, tags, and the topology of merges - Full syntax highlighting - A built-in 4-way merge conflict tool - Powerful search capabilities - Integrations with GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket - The ability to edit existing commits I would greatly appreciate any & all feedback, and am more than happy to answer any questions 🙏❤️

Why are you using Sketch's icon for your app? 🤔

@chrismessina I'm not familiar with this Sketch software. The icon I drew myself.

@chrismessina I can change the color of my icon to distance from the sketch icon, however I need to find a color that works as I must change the accent color across my site and app. You might want to work on your human interaction skills, as I find the phrasing of your comments downright rude and hurtful.

@mike_jerred I meant no harm, and merely intended pointed out a fact, in order to understand whether this was intention or coincidental. As you said, you weren't aware of Sketch, and any similarity is therefore a coincidence. That, in my view, is an incredible coincidence since your icon and color palette is nearly identical to Sketch's; it is also incredible that you weren't aware of this software, given its popularity and the fact that it's been in the market for 12 years. I believe that it's possible — it's just surprising to me. I apologize if my surprise hurt you. Of course it's up to you if you want to adjust your design to avoid confusion or if the similarity doesn't bother you. I doubt that I would be the last person to notice the similarity, but that too is within the realm of the possible.

inlang IDE Extension (i18n)

@mike_jerred are you using VSCode? Extensions like gitgraph and gitlens seem to provide what you are building. I am curious why you decided to build glint in spite of the existence of those extensions.

@samuel_stroschein Hi Samuel, that's a great question. So extensions such as GitLens can be really great, but they do provide a different experience compared to a dedicated desktop app. Personally, I find that I do not need to constantly have all the git related info when I am writing code, and prefer to keep vscode more minimal, and also I work with multiple repositories where I need to make commits together which is better suited for a dedicated app with tabs. The company behind GitLens actually does make a desktop app as well which is more of a direct competitor to mine. That software (the GitKraken client) is very good and has a lot of features, however it is not free to use on private repos. I believe GitLens follows a similar pricing structure.
