No longer being maintained? #451

Open sbwoodside opened 8 years ago

sbwoodside commented 8 years ago

Is this fork no longer being maintained?

Any recommendations on a good fork of GitX to switch to?

zackd commented 8 years ago

+1 whats the current status of this fork?

pvinis commented 8 years ago

im using gitx and gitkraken now. hopefully i can only use gitkraken when its a bit more complete. i send then feedback with stuff that gitx does better for now, so they can add then in.

also this looks more active https://github.com/ssp/gitx

tiennou commented 8 years ago

Let's say it's currently mostly-maintained. I still use GitX for visualization and ~~blame~~history-wrangling purposes, and even though I know it has a few rough edges, I'm fine with it.

sbwoodside commented 8 years ago

@pvinis thanks for the pointer to ssp/gitx but seems buggy -- for example search isn't working. Do they have stable releases?

@tiennou Why do you say it's mostly-maintained? It's been a year since the last commit.

tiennou commented 8 years ago

Because I'm mostly-maintaining it ;-). I have a few PRs open that add some things but that are not yet in a release. From a quick glance, it seems the ssp fork has some of those.

sbwoodside commented 8 years ago

Cool. I'll check out your fork. The SSP one seems unstable.

tiennou commented 8 years ago

It depends on what you call stable ;-). I'm joking though, it only crashed once on me in 3 month, I know it has some weird behaviors :

restoring the window frame when reopening a recent repo (which I'm planning to fix)
the search work but has a tendency to focus slightly below the actual matched row

About stability, can you explain a little more ? I'm interested, because they have some changes w.r.t. to copy/pasting SHAs that I might want to get, and the diffstat display (which I'm not fond of but, well).

jasonkarns commented 8 years ago

@tiennou would you be open to adding your fork to homebrew?

tiennou commented 8 years ago

Well, that's embarrassing ;-). Let's say I wouldn't be against it, but right now I'm concerned about being a lone-developer and the fact that — as OP noticed — there has been no movement since a year in this fork. Also, #123, #259, #283.
