About GitSync

A minimalistic Git client for Mac

How to install GitSync on a Mac

  1. Get OpenDMG. It is a free app store for open source Mac apps. Download OpenDMG.
  2. Search for GitSync and press Get. OpenDMG downloads version 0.0.0-alpha.1 from eonist's own GitHub release.
  3. Open it. The download is checked against its SHA-256 fingerprint and its signature is checked on your Mac before it lands in Applications.

Updates to GitSync show up in OpenDMG and install with one button. No account is needed.

Prefer to do it by hand? The developer's file is on GitHub: GitSyncMacApp.zip (5.2 MB).

What is new in GitSync 0.0.0-alpha.1

#### Prerequisites:

1. You have Git on your computer 
2. GitSync does not initialize repos yet. So use a pre-existing repo on your computer
3. Right click in the tree-menu to add remove projects
4. There is a bug in main where there has to be a change in the repo in order to see commits. (Just make a new commit, after that it works)
5. Once you get things running it actually works pretty well. For now it's great for "cowboy projects" or jekyll blogs that you host on github etc

NOTE: if the app crashes, look in the crash report what went wrong
NOTE: I will work on fixing bugs and adding features as we go. Trying different UX experiments to make it magical. Suggestions or feature requests are welcomed. Use issues here on github. Thanks for your support

I will reconvene tomorrow with a few fixes đź‘Ť

### Running the app requires: 
MacOS Sierra has stricter security than before. To bring back running apps from unidentified developers simply write `sudo spctl --master-disable` in terminal and hit enter, as per: http://osxdaily.com/2016/09/27/allow-apps-from-anywhere-macos-gatekeeper/ Or you can build from source your self and GateKeeper won't complain.
