GitHub for Mac, a native Mac client for the popular code-sharing service, is now available. It has a lovely UI, if not a bit trendy, and some great integration features, including the ability to create a new repository by dragging a folder into the window and a new “Clone in Mac” button on the GitHub website. I also like the “Sync” button, which intelligently performs a pull and push, based on the state of your local repository compared to what’s on the server. All in all, I’m not quite sure if it’s enough to get me to switch off Tower quite yet, but considering it’s open source and well-integrated, I’m sure it will catch up quickly.

Springloops 2.0 Release Candidate »

I’m currently using Beanstalk to manage the Git repo for the new Sencha site, but Springloops 2.0 definitely looks interesting. I used to use the service for Subversion-controlled sites, but with their recent Git compatibility and awesome deployment option, I may just have to give it another go.
