Depending on how you count it that could be a version originally released in 2018 i.e. the version they are aiming to support is 3.28 which you should be able to easily update to from 3.0 (which was released in 2018) since it's a minor update with no breaking changes

whoops! thanks for letting me know about the bug, I'll get it fixed this weekend :)

I did kinda address this in the post. While it's true that you can do everything that Fork can do in the command line (and supplement that with a branch visualiser), everyone but the people most comfortable with Git will avoid even attempting the techniques outlined in the post. I would estimate that this is probably less than 10% of devs (possibly far far less)

Using something like Fork actually makes the whole process of interacting with Git much more enjoyable, and therefore will encourage people to use more intermediate or expert aspects of Git to their full advantage.

Fork is paid after a trial now, right? Not a problem, devs should get paid. It was free and/or open source before so I’m wondering because of that.

For Mac, is there any specific reason for Fork over Tower, or some of the other trendy Git GUIs? I have GitFox from SetApp and it is lacking quite a bit in my opinion. Tower is pricey with yearly subscription, but does have a student discount. I’m sure there’s a couple of others too.

FYI: great in depth post. I’ll be referencing this from time to time.

So I would say that it's currently "technically" a paid-for app. It seems like they are doing something like Sublime with a "nagware" approach. I have been using it since it was free and haven't actually needed to pay for it yet. Having said that I will probably pay soon anyway because it is such a valuable tool for me.

As for using Fork vs other apps, I used to use SourceTree before Fork. Fork is my favorite right now because it is less opinionated and really just exposes the Git functionality directly. For example SourceTree made it impossible to force-push because they didn't believe you ever should.

There is another class of app for Git that is like a subset or overlay, like the way GitHub desktop uses "sync" instead of real Git terms. I remember Tower also felt like it was trying to make me see things the way it wanted me to and not the way Git worked but I can't remember the details.

Ah okay cool about Fork then.

I haven’t checked the differences but the class of apps like Fork, GitFox, Tower all feel like they are in the same category. SourceTree def is not in that category :p.

I’ll prob switch to using Fork as my main GUI

Ha ha ha! I wasn't expecting to be quoted in this article :) but I can confirm that someone did actually tell me that about not wanting to recommend Ember

This looks really awesome, i'm going to have to set away some time for this now! Has the EmberConf talk on testing gone live yet?

not yet, but keep a close watch -> http://confreaks.com/events/emberconf2014

thats been fixed now, cheers for the feedback

Wow, quick response. much appreciated.

But i still get "unexpected error has occured" message when i clicked on "Want to chat right now?" https://bloo.ie/thanks

We're looking into this problem now, we'll let you know when we're done

That doesn't happen any more. We're busy ironing out a few small things, if you try it again it should work.

there is a tour that is designed for website owners available here: https://bloo.ie/tour . We have plans to create a more user centric tour soon.

We're looking into it. Right now it seems to help by logging out (link in top right). Let me know how you get on

I get the same error - signed in using Twitter.

Thanks for the heads up. Our login in system has just crapped its pants for some reason (hasn't happened before) and we are fixing it currently. Thanks for the feedback.

Well the fact that both of the founders are Irish really helped the matter ;) I think you can get one if you move to Ireland but you have to be really committed to the url you want!
