• Launch HN: Diversion (YC S22) – Cloud-Native Git Alternative

  Congrats on the launch! It's always exciting to see more competition in the version control space. One question I have is whether you guys are better than: https://desktop.github.com/ This seems to do the exact same thing, be free forever, and have a more mature GUI that is also easier to use than regular terminal git. In my firm, even with people who don't know how to code, they can use github desktop (since it... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Ask HN: Can we do better than Git for version control?

  - Product designers for open-source hardware. Various design files, SVG etc. I’ve experimented with a “GUI only” git flow - just to see what is possible, so I could introduce the concept to others. I found GitHub desktop app (https://desktop.github.com/)did a great job of visually showing git flows and functions, but for a non-tech/programmming person, the tool would be daunting. Curiosity what your suggested tech... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Is it time to look past Git?

  One such project is the Gitless initiative which has a Python wrapper around Git proper providing far-simpler workflows based on some solid research. Unfortunately it doesn't look like Gitless' Python codebase has had active development recently, which doesn't inspire much confidence. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago

• What Comes After Git

  You and me both. Git's interface has been very hard for me to understand (especially coming from Mercurial). I ended up finding Gitless (https://gitless.com), a wrapper around Git with a better interface, and loving it. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Pijul 1.0 Beta

  > > To differentiate from Git Pijul should focus on usability... If Pijul has an easy to use interface like Mercurial did then that will massively help adoption. > I don't think the goal or differentiation of pijul is to be popular via good UI, though. If the theory of patches is good, it doesn't matter if pijul "wins" or not, as long as whatever does can integrate it. If the theory of patches is bad, I... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Pijul 1.0 Beta

  I'd like to think it was my project (https://github.com/martinvonz/jj), but other possibilities include Gitless (https://gitless.com/) or Bazaar (https://bazaar.canonical.com/). - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Do we need an easier Git?

  Gitless [1] has already been mentioned in another comment here. [2] That makes it easier to use hit for those who are not as experienced or haven’t learned about the internals of git. For a different model (and other types of workflows), consider Fossil SCM. [3] Here’s a comparison of fossil with git, and what these tools are a good fit for. [4] I found fossil easier to understand, relatively speaking, and it... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
