gitx seems to be gone. What's the nearest equivalent for Mac?
I did find a fork of a fork at https://github.com/gitx/gitx, dunno if this is worth the trouble to download and build, or there's a package I can download somewhere.

Tower 9 for Mac is here
What UIs are people using these days other than this? I'm mostly using command line but I like having something simple for commit editing and reviewing diffs file by file. I was using gitg for the last months on a linux laptop for this, which is fine but not spectacular. I got my new mac (finally) after waiting for that for several months yesterday and to my pleasant surprise, gitx is still being maintained and getting updates: https://github.com/gitx/gitx
I've used that for many years and I love it. But curious to hear what others use. Closed source is a bit of a non starter for me usually.

Lazygit: Simple terminal UI for Git commands
FWIW, the per line staging functionality in GitUp (https://gitup.co/) is quite easy and straightforward. Very lightweight program that you can open via cli (`gitup` when in a git directory)

Please release nano under less restrictive license so we can use it
Not quite true, though while I was there, many fellow employees misunderstood the rules to mean that you couldn't use GPL software on your machine. At least as of a few years ago, the official ruling was that any open-source software _required_ for you to do your job had to be approved by an internal council of sorts, and GPL and AGPL software was right out. You could, however, use any open-source software you wanted (including GPL and AGPL) so long as it was (1) for personal use, (2) not absolutely mandatory for you to do your job (e.g. some niche software or library propping up your employment), and (3) there was some other alternative tool that you could use if necessary.
So, for instance, a GPL-licensed git client like GitUp[1] was fine to use, and didn't require clearance. You could totally also install a newer version of Nano if you wanted, too.
But, the rules _were_ somewhat vague and scary-sounding, so many engineers I worked with took the rules to mean "absolutely no GPL software under any circumstances".
What email is actually talking about is the option to bundle Nano _with the OS_, which Apple can't do with GPLv3 software. That's why for years, macOS has had an absolutely ancient version of bash (before the license was updated to GPLv3), and switched to zsh in newer versions of the OS.

GIT GUI tool or command line?
Gitup \Mac only]) and the command line at the same time. There are some esoteric commands I can’t remember so it’s nice having a GUI to do it and it’s nice having visual feedback incase of a screwup.

Who uses GitHub Desktop?
I only use it to keep track of certain projects. Gitup (Mac only) is another GUI client I use for visualizing progress and undoing mistakes.

What apps should I get if I am a programmer in college? Also looking for an app to keep me organized and to brainstorm. Thanks guys.
A git client: Fork (paid), GitFox (paid), or Tower (subscription) for git version control. Which one you use is personal preference / price sensitivity. It's Ford vs Chevy. GitUp is free but a little weirder UI, though very powerful.

Git-Sim: Visually simulate Git operations in your own repos with a single terminal command
I typically use the CLI, but GitUp is the best git visualization tool I've ever found (although it's mac-only).

Where are my Git UI features from the future?
I Ctrl+F'd for GitUp based on the title, it deserves mention here.
It's all-in on Mac, unfortunately.

> GitUp is built as a thin layer on top of a [Mac-only] reusable generic Git toolkit called "GitUpKit"

Ask HN: What was the best software that you used during 2022?
I thought Windows Sandbox would be more useful but over time I just haven't fired it up... I kind of forgot about it. I do use Hyper-V.
Every Windows user should run WizTree on their personal machines at least once a year to get a lightning fast report on disk space usage. Cleanup should start wih the largest items or you're just wasting your time! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33893815#33894842
Bitvise SSH Server is also now free for personal use. I've been using it for over a decade since it offered simple multifactor authentication before OpenSSH (IIRC) and can block most bots by client identifier (libssh) -- security through obscurity works spectacularly here because OpenSSH does not yet support this. Their free-as-in-beer SSH client is a great GUI for port forwarding, SFTP, etc. but I dislike the built-in terminal's clipboard handling.
A Mac-only recommendation: https://gitup.co a GPL3 Git client with a unique UI and undo. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27579701&p=2#27580659
If you use Pandora, check out the pianobar cli. For Twitch, there is Chatty (+streamlink cli & VLC).
I set up signald with a Google Voice number but haven't continued down the path of automating Signal.
I tried Tailscale (2021?) but it seemed a bit early, couldn't log out yet. So I went with ZerotTier. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30284754
