Gitfox features

Superior diffs

Know what's changed — don't guess. Inline Changes are highlighted to take the guesswork out of your diffs. Image Diffs help you make sure the correct assets go into your project. Line Staging breaks your work down into smaller steps. Only commit what you want to.

Powerful tools

Find anything with full-text search and query highlights. Resolve merge conflicts in just one click. Manage features, bugfixes, and releases with integrated Git-Flow support.

A native experience

A completely native app gives you the performance you expect. Perform actions quicker with Touch Bar shortcuts. Create branches and tags, push, cherry-pick, merge or rebase with Drag & Drop. Get notified about new and pushed commits.

Multiple Identities

Working on many projects or even across different organizations can be tricky. Commit using several Git identities and set per-repository defaults.

Mergetool Integration

Launch your favorite merge tools directly from Gitfox. The app covers built-in support for Kaleidoscope, Araxis, P4Merge, and FileMerge as well as automatic support for any tool configured in your gitconfig.

Markdown

A README is the front page of your repository. With Markdown support, your repositories shine in all their glory. Build status badges, images, and the whole shebang.

Its a good start to an app but lots of little problems. - no clear way to update the branch display - no help text on the tool bar buttons - I don't mind the blue/purple in the diff but was not clear what it meant initially - search field in the branch view initially looks like a place to put a commit message not search it - inspect changes & code panels feel clunky and too big. Not everybody has a super wide screen and wants to work full screen. I could go on but it is more like that. A lot of cosmetic and interface related stuff. As far as git functionality goes it has been 100% solid for me. Addendum: After some more use (and having to flip back to SourceTree) I had to flip my review to a thumbs down. It is borderline though. I really want to like this app, I think it just needs some more work.
