    • Good licensing: It's a "copyfree" MIT-licensed open source application: thus no copyleft restrictions. Also no constructs of "freemium" at this moment of writing.

    A fairly neat UI and opens repositories without a cinch, but unfortunately, the program lacks the option to commit only individual edited lines - you can only commit entire "hunks". A dealbreaker for me.

    It's a great alternative for GitKraken. It supports easy rebases, merges, commit amends, file history, etc. Also I have admin that their git log is super easy to read and to interact with.
