Cool to see mine still mentioned :) I'm happy that others are continuing the good work

It's difficult to keep track of all the various branches, is there a reason you haven't transferred the project to someone who can create a new proper release, update the website, etc?

To help prove your point, I just found out the website wasn't being updated anymore, I still have that version installed.

Thanks for the suggestions on the other branches. :)

Out of curiosity, why did you stop working on gitx? I love gitx and use brotherbard's branch for the easier remotes amongst other features.

Second. I use GitX daily, it's been great!

I'm going to guess it's the same reason as always, a desire to not donate night and weekend time to that particular project anymore.

That's pretty close. In reality, I started working at a company where I was a fulltime Cocoa programmer. Working on a similar project in my free time just didn't seem that attractive anymore.

Have you considered "blessing" another branch, adding a supplimentary commiter or pulling in changes from one of the other branches so that the mainline is more up to date with a compiled binary? In any event I appreciate your tool and thank you for doing it!

It's probably my ignorance of github but there really does not seem to be a great way to pass the torch on or see what the other forks have done without going into each fork.

GitX is simply awesome, but unfortunately I've left the official one behind and moved to the one maintained by laullon [1] because it contains more of the features I want, and seems to be updated a lot more.
