git-cola: The highly caffeinated Git GUI

A gui application and they have zero screenshots on their github homepage. 😆

Well to be fair, the first link in the readme leads to screenshots.

I seriously feel like such links should be banned… it is so low-effort (not on the part of the OP, but on the project).

I appreciate that they just have a link to screenshots right at the top, instead of including them inline in the README.

Three reasons:

  1. I'm browsing from a low-ish speed connection today, so it's nice to load the informative details before the pretty pictures.
  2. The text lets me decide if it's worth waiting for the pictures to load or not.
  3. When the screenshots are inline, the other parts of the README move around as they finish loading, making it harder to read as I wait for them to load.

Also, it's a nice informative README. No notes from me. If you want the screenshots, they make them very easy to find.

This is a great git gui I particularly like using it during staging partial file snippets.

This is very cool - I also implemented git gui as a part of a project. Loved the approach here.
