What's the point of having a close button on a dialog window that doesn't close the dialog?

I also found this really confusing, just in general the "OSX window" design made me think I could close them, minimize them, move them, etc (which would have been really useful, especially the 'goal' window).

The app in general is supremely awesome though, I love it, I hope github hires the author to fully flesh it out and make it part of their tutorial. It is insanely useful for people whom are new to git.

Ah!! I just realized people were clicking on those silly little buttons I had on the top... I totally added them simply for design flair. For now I'll add a nasty alert that they don't actually work, but eventually it would be cool to bind them to close events...
Just a side note - I think you can monazite this if desired.

If you created a way for a company to easily define levels that mimic their typical workflow it would be a great on-boarding tool for new employees, a great interview tool and also a great reference tool for 'i need to do X, how does the company prefer I do X?'. I can definitely see this justifying a subscription fee for a lot of companies.

Awesome work! I really wish this had existed when I first learned git.
