   I’ve gone from using the git command-line exclusively to almost exclusively using Sublime Merge.

   I basically just keep it open on its own monitor as a real-time dashboard of all my changes. That, and the ease with which you can stage hunks and lines, has improved the quality of my commits and also gives me greater peace of mind.

   (Downside: it’s a commercial app and Linux support exists but isn’t first class. e.g., doesn’t automatically respond to light/dark mode changes.)

   #SublimeMerge #git

     @la Couldn’t agree more. Just left them a comment here: https://github.com/sublimehq/sublime_merge/issues/1409

     @aral i like the software but they lock dark mode (an essential accessibility feature for me) behind a 100$ paywall :/

     @ff0000 The thing I like from Sublime Merge is the constantly updating list of diffs and the easy hunk and line adding. Doesn’t look like I could do that with this. Although, if it works for you, that’s great :)

     @aral Have you tried https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit ?

     It's a command line into a vim sort of environment. Instead of git add etc, i just smash lg and i am in the interface and if i would want it i can have it open at all times as well.

     @frigidcode There’s a preference for flipping between light and dark mode but it doesn’t do so automatically. In fact, it’s the only proprietary app I use on my system and it’s the only one that doesn’t do this. 🤷♂️

     @aral Themes and syntax highlighting configuration under linux leaves a lot to be desired. It's expected that you also use Sublime Text, otherwise the files will need to be installed manually. Other than that, it's a great piece of software.
