Yeah it is definitely a niche product. It's mostly targeted at developers who want a simple one-click way to do the most common actions with local checkouts - add, rm, commit, etc. Or people migrating from a "traditional" VCS, that aren't quite familiar with git commands yet.

"Advanced" functionality - merging, rebase, etc - was purposely left out because that most likely to be done at the command line no matter what.

This looks awesome! While I will always prefer a command-line interface over a GUI for tools like this, it's SO important to have really elegant GUI tools for everybody else.

Git is great. The git command-line tools allow you do do all sorts of SCM gymanstics, but are hard to use if you're a designer just trying to commit the latest CSS file and push it out to your integration server.

It would be really awesome if it were possible to have the app call out to shell scripts to perform certain gestures. Many development teams have custom scripts for their workflow, and it would be great if this GUI could easily let folks use that workflow without touching the command-line.

Thank for the feedback. That is exactly the void we are trying to fill! Git is awesome, but the functionality can be overwhelming for people at times.

As for the scripting, are you talking about integrating with git hooks, or just plain scripts? I would love to hear more about your idea, email me at [e-mail]
