Gitbox now has a new intuitive interface that makes everyday tasks amazingly simple. In a single window you see all your repositories, history and working directory state. Commit, pull and push with a single click. Creating, sharing and comparing branches becomes so simple, you will start to actually use them
What's New
Version 1.6.0:
  • Zero-configuration submodules: one-click download and reset.
  • Submodules are intelligently reset when pulling or switching branches in the parent repository.
  • Editable repository names (Gitbox keeps an alias without changing the actual folder name.)
  • Automatic repository optimization in background.
  • Tags are sorted in natural order and with respect to version numbers.
  • When a file is added to ignore list, it is also untracked (git rm --cached).
  • Warning is displayed when trying to make a commit when no branch is selected.
  • Single Preferences window with Git configuration, ignored files, "Clone from Github" checkbox etc.
  • Fixed bugs and crashes in authentication session.
  • Fixed performance bug with frequent stage updates (high CPU consumption).
  • Fixed bugs with preserving stage selection and scroll offset when stage is reloaded.
  • Fixed bug with text fields in repository settings (value was not stored immediately)
  • Fixed a bug with trimming whitespace from .gitignore
  • Fixed link highlighting: now all kinds of schemas are recognized including rdar:// (Lion-only).
  • Fixed several text labels and error messages.
  • Fixed an annoying bug in search field (when space is entered, all text was selected)
  • Fixed bug with presenting files containing ":" and other URL-unfriendly characters.
  • Fixed bug with staging file names beginning with dash ("-")
  • Fixed bug with multi-line commit messages. Messages are recorded as-is. Prewrapped messages are intelligently unwrapped when displayed.
  • Fixed bug with ignoring a file when .gitignore does not exist (file was not added to .gitignore).
  • Fixed bug with title duplication in the branch menus.
  • Fixed merge --no-ff option. Gitbox shows no-ff merge commits and respects "mergeoptions" in .git/config.
  • Fixed sidebar alignment bug.
  • Fixed sidebar spinner color and animation.

Perfectly simple and fast app instead of other monsters.

I use a Git GUI to help with the more complex tasks, and visualize changes. Everything else happens on the command line. I appreciate that Gitbox takes a minimalist approach, but I prefer a monster as my Git GUI.

Great app and worth the high price.
But the UI needs some work imo

I'm using Gitbox to to do version control of my dissertation, which I'm writing in LaTeX. All I want to do is to be able to log what I've done in a writing-session, commit the changes, and form off branches of the writing project whenever I'm making changes that I might potentially want to reverse.

This is the first version control software that, for a non-programmer like me, was easy to setup and to use on my laptop. For my use, I simply wanted it to track my local files on my computer's harddrive; I have no use for an offsite repository. The fact that it comes with Git means I installed, chose my dissertation's folder that I wanted to version control, and began.

It is extremely easy to use, both for committing, and for making difference comparisons between changed files. It is quick to load, it is stable, and the UI is very clean and easy to understand. Installation requires no command line or other non-Mac-like installation procedures so common with many pieces of version control software.

If, like me, you want to use version control to keep track of a major writing programme, look no further. The fact that you can use it for one repository -- one writing project -- for free, is something I am grateful to the developer for.

This isn't free. You can use it with one repository and then you are required to enter a licence key.

As stated on the official website, it's a 64bit-only app. It doesn't even start on 32bit macs.

doesn't 64-bit apps runs on 32-bit mac ? The website just states "64-bit application for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard".
