openoffice VS GitExtensions

Try LibreOffice or OpenOffice .

From that link:

I'm guessing is not "learning" but more of an attempt to game GitHub (e.g. rack up a lot of commits to an impressive-sounding project).

This is Open Office.

OpenOffice is still around. I've had better luck with OpenOffice than with LibreOffice.

OpenOffice is a bit outdated and it's updates don't really update anything if you check the git commits. There is however FreeOffice and OpenOffice, both really good options that look almost the same as MS Office

A different open would be to get open office (https://www.openoffice.org/) use the application called Impress (this is a free PowerPoint alternative).

OpenOffice is a good program. If you've had experience with MS Word, it's relatively the same. It's pretty easy to use too; just choose Writer and start typing. lol

I agree that git is almost asking you to juggle commits.

My preference is to use temporary branches and cherry-picking instead of stashing; I mostly use a gui* to work with git so it is easy to select the two or three commits to cherry-picking or see visually if an interactive rebase would work.

I use Git Extensions myself as I find the git interface very straight forward, however they still have this fucking insane and frustrating issue: In the mergetool "Theirs" and "Mine" are swapped

Git Extensions is a more-intuitive way to manage your Git repositories in Windows. Its standalone interface serves as an effective, CLI-free means to control Git. Preferred by namtab00, because "SourceTree hides and shortcuts too much git functionality."

I presume this is where one goes to make a feature request? https://github.com/gitextensions/gitextensions/issues

If you're on Windows, I'd start with installing official Git. It comes with a Git Bash CLI and what not. There are also third party apps like GitExtensions and TortoiseGit if you want more UI/shell integration.

Everyone's going to downvote this, but I prefer the GUI over the command-line. I use http://gitextensions.github.io/

https://github.com/gitextensions/gitextensions/releases/tag/v2.51.05 - nice little ui for working with git. unfortunately, v2.51.05 is the last version that I can confirm works under mono (it was the last 2.x version and they completely rewrote the code from scratch in the 3.x series. My understanding was that it lost Linux compatibility at that point).
