Guitar – Git GUI Client

Being a dad and highly prone to excessive punning if given half a chance, it almost hurts that this is not a GUI for tar.

As a developer I love good GUIs and should check this out.

If some likes to push a homebrew cask package for it, here is a possible source:

  cask 'gui-tar' do
    version '1.2.4'
    sha256 'e11177b99a01d5cff666f68072fd2145cccda4678a8a98203d97929cbe53dea2'

    url "http://www.edenwaith.com/downloads/guitar.dmg"
    name 'GUI Tar'
    homepage 'http://www.edenwaith.com/products/guitar/'

    app 'GUI Tar.app'
  end

I had a similar thought. This project should have been named "Gitar".

Well, I went a different way at first.

I was trying to figure out if it used git somehow to manage creation/rendering/storing of guitar tabs or something.

I kept looking for any images of guitars or screenshots of standard music notation and tab.

Then I finally read the title and part of the README.

:-D
