The git-gui repo [0] has no readme I can see that would point me in the right direction. Googling around didn't get me anything either. Should I send it here on this list or is it somewhere else? Also, is the project even actively maintained any more? The last commit was in 2017.

It seems to me that people have been sending patches to git-gui to this mailing list indeed. According to the following discussions: - https://public-inbox.org/git/xmqqbm36w7hl.fsf@gitster-ct.c.googlers.com/ - https://public-inbox.org/git/nycvar.QRO.7.76.6.1905272135280.28524@tvgsbejvaqbjf.bet/ Pat Thoyts (in CC) used to be the git-gui maintainer but we haven't been hearing from him for a long time, so we are looking for a new maintainer. > Also, is the project even actively maintained any more?

The latest repository for Git GUI seems to have been https://github.com/patthoyts/git-gui, but even that has fallen dormant. Your best bet is to send the patch to this list, and we'll just have to try to work together to our best abilities to review and improve and integrate it. Ciao, Johannes ``` ## Pratyush Yadav, 2019-07-25 15:16 Subject: Re: Where do I send patches for git-gui?

All right, I'll send it here. > According to the following discussions: > > - https://public-inbox.org/git/xmqqbm36w7hl.fsf@gitster-ct.c.googlers.com/ > - https://public-inbox.org/git/nycvar.QRO.7.76.6.1905272135280.28524@tvgsbejvaqbjf.bet/ > > Pat Thoyts (in CC) used to be the git-gui maintainer but we haven't > been hearing from him for a long time, so we are looking for a new > maintainer. Ah, that's too bad that there is no active maintainer. I recently switched my text editor from Atom to Vim, and the only thing I am missing is Atom's gui for looking at diffs and resolving merge conflicts. I've only used git-gui for a couple days, but it looks like just the tool I need. I can maintain it (as long as I'm using the tool at least). I'm not particularly fluent with Tcl or Tk, but I'm learning them as I implement the features I need. Will I get commit access to the main git repo, or should I use a fork and send the changes over here, and one of you folks will merge them? > > > >> Also, is the project even actively maintained any more?
