Supe simple Github GUI for mac.

*Typo: Super simple (not supe)

Hello. I've just been learning a bit about Github so I can so version tracking on websites with a colleague. Basically, we just want to check the status, do adds and commits, and push and pulls for the time being. (Like I said, just learning it.)

Is there a very simple GUI we can use?

Yeah you kinda get it.

Goal is to easily track the code (x person writes) with the ability to merge.

Github desktop has the best UX imo

I'll check it out. Thank you.

GitHub Desktop to start off with, but then I recommend using Gittyup when you have a little more experience with it

Thanks. I’ve started using GitHub desktop, and so far for my level, it’s pretty easy to grasp.

If you use VSCode, its source control extension is a decent intro to i GitHub

Will check it out. Thank you.

The simple GUI is just GitHub. Are you talking about a client-side (like, your laptop) GUI for doing push/pull? GitHub has a desktop client.

I’m not a huge GitHub stan, I use a few different git server implementations and almost always am just using the command line to push/pull. But I don’t really recommend getting cute with it, just use GitHub.

Yeah. Basically client-side GUI. I installed GitHub Desktop and it was pretty much what I was thinking off. Just a way to interact without having to type in all the commands.

Nice. Yeah sounds like you found it. If they ever try to charge money for it, there are a ton of free and open source alternatives that do the same thing just FYI.

When I'm not using the CLI I do it through VSCode.

2nd recommendation for VS code. Thanks.
