Recommendation request:

A GUI Git client for Mac for a highly competent but nontechnical person using Git to track & deploy changes on their personal site? I’m looking for:

- Emphasis on the •simplest commit-push workflow•
- Visual emphasis on •what you are committing•, not the commit graph / branches / git internals / etc
- Minimal footgun potential
- No bells and whistles, no rows of buttons, no fancy visualizations, etc.

I think that a Git client well optimized for this specific use case would sell like hot cakes

Bonus points if integrated WYSIWYG Markdown editor

@alter_kaker
Sounds like the direction Obsidian is working in? Not sure how good the Git plugins are, but definitely the vibe they’re going for.

@inthehands
Hmm yes but it also looks like their business model involves you publishing to their service

@alter_kaker
I believe it runs and builds locally, and the pay-to-publish bit is an optional bolt-on that’s a growth play for the company, not the core model.
