- Want a diff between two commits from two different branches? Click one commit and Ctrl+click the other. All the diffs show up immediately.
- Messed something up badly and you need to see the reflog? Click the Recyclable Commits checkbox, and everything in the reflog shows up just like any normal commit. And you can use the diff trick above on them.
- Wonder what's in your stashes that you forgot about? Click the Stashes checkbox and they all show up as normal commits. Because that's what a stash really is.
- Committed something to the wrong branch? Drag the branch markers to where you want them.
- use the same terminology as git
- show a log of every command
- default to sane behavior
- ask preferences instead of assuming (ex: rebase or merge?)
- show warnings when doing something destructive or unusual
I've found that I now spend zero time learning and thinking about git anymore, and it also protects our repos from git noobs at the same time.
