Where are my Git UI features from the future?

• git-branchless

  55 3,306 9.4 Rust

  High-velocity, monorepo-scale workflow for Git

On the contrary: I myself have implemented these better operations, and they work great. They also exist in some other VCSes. You can see the `git-branchless` column in the table for comparison with the other clients.

- git reword: https://github.com/arxanas/git-branchless/wiki/Command:-git-...

- git move will perform the magic "see all downstream conflicts", but unfortunately will only show you the number of conflicting files, at present: https://github.com/arxanas/git-branchless/wiki/Command:-git-...

- You cannot undo arbitrary operations with the reflog (nor with `git reset`). See https://github.com/arxanas/git-branchless/wiki/Architecture#.... Besides those points, my `git undo` can even undo some working copy changes: https://github.com/arxanas/git-branchless/wiki/Command:-git-...

• GitUp

  26 11,352 7.0 Objective-C

  The Git interface you've been missing all your life has finally arrived.

  

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"

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  

• monorepo

  56 945 10.0 JavaScript

  globalization ecosystem && change control SDK

  

We are working on "the next git" that brings version control to the rest of the world.

> No one bothers to consider: what are the workflows that people actually want to do? What are the features that would make those workflows easier?

What a coincidence, I just created a document [0] that collects engineering and UX issues that we are running into with inlang (localization infrastructure built on git) [1]. Part of bringing version control to people outside of software engineering is fixing UX related issues.

Your `sync` command is interesting. Our observations lean towards some real-time collaboration workflow that could make `pull, push, sync` workflows redundant. Applications that benefit from version control like a next-gen Figma, Adobe Premiere, Excel, etc. require real-time collaboration. A question that I've been asking myself whether real-time collaboration in software engineering makes sense too. To be elaborated! :)

• autorebase

  9 76 5.6 Rust

  Automatically rebase all your branches onto master

> It should be possible to sync all of my branches (or some subset) via merge or rebase, in a single operation.

Not sure if this is exactly what the author is looking for but I made Autorebase exactly for this.

Great article btw. A lot of those things are way harder than they should be.

• sapling

  42 5,808 10.0 Rust

  A Scalable, User-Friendly Source Control System.

  

Sapling has basically combined Mercurial’s UI/UX, and added several more nice features on top, and added Git as a backend (ie, you can use sapling to seamlessly contribute to git projects) - https://sapling-scm.com/

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com sponsored

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
