A Git client for the Mac
Authored by: asmeurer on Dec 15, '10 01:42:09PM
If you are going to use GitX, you should use this development version. You will have to manually clone the git repo and build it using XCode, but it is a big improvement over the main GitX, which, as someone else pointed out, hasn't been developed for over a year.

Also, I just want to say that you should be able to do anything in git from the command line if you really want to use it. I would recommend learning it from the command line first, and then using a GUI once you are comfortable with that.

Or you could download the latest binary (Nov 17) from the download page of the experimental branch; it was last committed to on Nov 16, but the last commit in the network was on Dec 18 (as of this writing)

But the very fact that you are using GitX implies that you know how to use git, so why not just clone the repository and get the full benefits, like being able to pull in updates with a simple git pull? Remember, this is a development branch, so it's probably a good idea to update it every once in a while.

No thanks. The whole point of using git is to keep my work safe.

It's not that I'm really worried that anything will be irretrievably lost, it's just that the more I use computers, the I seek to avoid hassle and aggravation.
