Pragma-git

 

Pragma-git is a friendly pragmatic git control app, fully compatible with other git client softwares.

 

The aim with Pragma-git is to be

• ”pragmatic” — aiming to be the opposite to how many beginners perceive git

• easy to start — and something to grow in for daily programming tasks

• friendly — guiding you through risks of data loss with pop-up warnings and instructions

 

Differences to other git clients

• small window — no need hiding other apps

• easy overview of project state

• show buttons only when applicable — less confusion

• use built-in or external diff and merge tools — use your favourite

• note taking — todo lists and notes at your finger tips
