But what will happen if your hard disk crashes and you forget to take backup? Your work will be lost. In this case, you work alone in your private repository, and your colleague can not read and write. Let's say you are working on some hobby project. Now before you learn GitHub, let's take an example. You can use the Git commands on the command line or GUI to manage your repo. In Git, You can keep track of the files in something called a repository or repo.

Git is open source and free (so anyone can use it). Git is a distributed version control software. In this article, you will learn the core concepts about Git and GitHub, how they are different, and their similarities. If you are looking for answers to these questions, you are in the right place.
#GITBOX VS GITHUB INSTALL#
The 4000+ stars on GitHub (it’s open-source!) is very cool too.Do you think GitHub is your source control? Can you install Git and GitHub on your machine? Windows only here so I can’t give even a brief review, but several people mentioned it so it feels like it’s got legs to me. I’ll embed their demo video here which shows all that off: Git Extensions Looks to be very big on the visual graphing of git branches and giving you control over all the nodes and what you do with them. The UI snob in me squinches my face a little looking at it.

Windows only here so I can’t give even a brief review, but they have a ton of screenshots here.Ĭross-platform, and looks very full-featured (even stuff like a file merge tool for conflicts). But functionally otherwise, seemed perfectly working to me.
#GITBOX VS GITHUB CODE#
It looks like you don’t see code difs within the app itself which is a little weird (the “view dif” stuff didn’t work for me, anyway).
#GITBOX VS GITHUB UPDATE#
It looks like the last update was 7 years ago, but it also has great reviews. Still, hey, it’s a great integration and if you love it you love it.įrom the makers of Sublime Text! Like Sublime Text, you can use it kinda free forever but in this case, for now, you just pay if you want the dark theme. Plus GitHub has GitHub Desktop which also seems to have momentum. It’s certainly pretty popular, but Atom is GitHub’s thing, and now Microsoft owns GitHub, and Microsoft has VS Code which is a direct competitor with way more momentum. (I imagine there are lots of other IDEs that offer version control features. A lot of Git usage is pretty basic pulling, committing, and pushing - so having this right within the app is kinda sweet. There are a lot of features here, but it’s not really a full-blown GUI to me, but you’ve got a terminal built in right there so it almost encourages that. Having version control right in your IDE like this, to me, feels like kind of a tweener between GUI and CLI. You don’t really think of Coda as a version control tool (it’s more of a direct-to- FTP thing), and even though I’d argue the support for it is fairly half-baked, it does work! Seems likely the next evolution of Coda will address this. I imagine there is some smooth Bitbucket integration stuff with this, similar to the GitHub/GitHub Desktop connection. You might be compelled by Sourcetree if you’re a big Bitbucket user because they are both Atlassian products. It seems highly feature-rich, but I think my favorite part is the dark-with-rainbow-accent-colors theme.
#GITBOX VS GITHUB UPGRADE#
Upgrading (monthly cost) to get the in-app merge conflict tool seems worth it, but you also have to upgrade to access private repos. pull requests) feel like first-class citizens, but it will still happily work with any Git repo. It’s deeply integrated into GitHub so it makes GitHubb-y things (e.g. I had some gripes with the 1.0 version in that its terminology was weird (to me) and seemed to vastly deviate from Git, which was more confusing than it was worth (again, to me). This is a 2.0 of the original GitHub Desktop. It’s free and actively developed, incredibly. They’ve been around a long time and continuously improve, which I always respect.

I’m not sure the exact release dates of all these, but I feel like Tower was an early player here. I’ve used Tower for ages and it’s the one used the most. There's some weird gatekeeping tendencies centered around the command line. Lots of perfectly amazing programmers like working with GUIs, and it's perfectly fine. No matter how much you love the CLI, don't GUI-shame. Lemme round up what look like the major players for Git GUIs these days.
#GITBOX VS GITHUB SOFTWARE#
User Interface, or you know, software you can see things and click stuff), and some near pure-designers I know prefer working with the command line for Git. There are lots of options! Some of the deepest programmer nerds I know prefer to use GUIs for Git (Graphic Git is command-line-driven software, but that doesn’t mean you have to use the command line to make it work.
