We should probably add a branding, such as app icon, maybe splash screen, etc. to make this app more easily distinguishable from an actual Eclipse IDE instance.

Hi planger.

We should probably add a branding, such as app icon, maybe splash screen, etc. to make this app more easily distinguishable from an actual Eclipse IDE instance.

I would like to contribute to this issue. An initial idea I thought of would be something like this:

logo
image

read-me
image

source-code: readme.md

# <img src="https://cdn-icons-png.flaticon.com/512/3042/3042510.png" width="50px"/> MeGit

Looking for a powerful, yet easy-to-use, fully open-source user interface for git? Well, there are plenty of [options](https://git-scm.com/downloads/guis/). One of our favorites is [EGit](https://www.eclipse.org/egit/). However, EGit is actually a plug-in for Eclipse rather than a standalone tool, such as GitKraken, etc. Nevertheless, even in projects where we actually use other editors or IDEs than Eclipse, we often found ourselves firing up an Eclipse IDE with EGit just to handle more complex git branch operations, for analysing the git history, and so on.

This made us think... wouldn't EGit be a great git standalone tool if it would be... well, an actual standalone tool?

That's exactly what *MeGit* is: a minimal standalone application that contains just enough to run EGit conveniently.

Thank you very much for your offer to help out, much appreciated!

However, I'd prefer to have a logo that is available under the same license as the project (EPL 2.0). Besides the actual logo, a few more things are needed to correctly configure it so it would show up nicely on all platforms (see also https://www.eclipse.org/articles/product-guide/guide.html).

I'd be very happy to review a PR that proposes those changes alongside the logo. Thank you!
