What Hacker News says
4 sourcesLooking good! Ambitious project. I like that it's built on web technologies (Vue, Electron) but that might be a negative for the HN crowd. I think the hackability and extensibility could be an advantage of this stack than a native app.
Interesting design choices, like keeping config and log file in .git/.quill folder; handling work in progress using branches; resetting unmerged files on conflict; and not automatically watching files for changes.
Me personally I already have a Git workflow with mostly CLI and occasional GUI. Used to love Fork (closed source, paid, Mac and Windows only). Now using GittyUp (open source, C++, Linux/Mac/Win).

In Show HN: GitQuill – free cross-platform GUI for Git, inspired by GitKrakenI can't imagine using a paid, closed-source git client when https://github.com/desktop/desktop and https://github.com/Murmele/Gittyup are both great.
Maybe 10 years ago, but not now that open-source alternatives are so mature and feature-rich.
In Git Fork: A fast and friendly Git client for Windows and MacInteresting spreadsheet!
For a Git GUI for Linux (and Windows), you might like GitAhead which builds under Linux? It's not under active development but has been forked to GittyUp: https://github.com/Murmele/Gittyup
