GitUp<\/a> (via iOS Dev Weekly<\/a>):<\/p>\n

\n

Work quickly, safely, and without headaches.\nThe Git interface you’ve been missing\nall your life has finally arrived.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It’s from Pierre-Olivier Latour<\/a>, of Quartz Composer, Everpix, and Automatic fame. GitUp has a very different interface, focused on the map. For someone like me with a simple repository structure, this does not see like a helpful approach, but I could see it being useful for others. GitUp seems to make manipulating the commit graph easy. Seeing the code that changed in a particular commit, which other Git clients make easy, takes an extra step.<\/p>\n

The most interesting feature to me is that it can optionally build an index (SQLite FTS) at .git\/co.gitup.mac\/cache.db<\/tt> to make searching the repository by diff content very fast. (My main Git client, Tower, doesn’t<\/a> even have a slow way of doing this.)<\/p>\n

GitUp is currently free, but you need to create an account to enable most of the features. It seems to be in a rough state right now: the commit view’s notion of what’s changed in my working directory is out of sync with what other Git clients show [Update (2015-05-26): This is not a bug in GitUp; see the comments<\/a>.], and trying to commit a file just gave me a “launch path not accessible” error. But I think this is definitely an app to watch.<\/p>\n

Update (2015-05-29): Jonathan Wight<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The Map view and Quicklook views are an interesting take on presenting the structure of a git repository while being able to selectively dive into the details of individual commits. I feel however that the information density of traditional Log views in other git clients is superior to the map view.<\/p>
