We built the Mac app because 1) we wanted it 2) to learn how a desktop client should work prior to tackling other platforms.

Beyond that, one-third of our traffic uses Macs. It's not a small market for us.




I can't argue with your reasoning

But I just switched from self-hosted SVN to Github and it was painful for our Windows devs. Offer a stupidly easy upgrade path from TortoiseSVN to Github and I would have joined a long time ago. In fact I'd pay extra for that. I think I am not alone.


We're well aware that Windows support needs improvement. Rest assured we will be addressing that issue.


You aren't alone. Using Github on Windows is TERRIBLE. It's not even worth the trouble at this point. Even at the command line it's a mess.

I access my repo from home on my mac.


Anyone else noticing that Github is becoming synonymous with "Git" - like kleenex is to tissues and xerox is to copying machines?

Crag do you mean GITHUB, the website and service, overall, or just GIT the version control system?


TortoiseGit? SmartGit?
