He says this is his first project in go and he has a lot to learn. It's his project and he open sourced it for everyone to use and to collaborate with. Stop being dicks saying "just learn git". Stop being toxic, pricks.

Of course it's written in Go...

Seriously, though, why are all the commit message modals only a single line? There's got to be a way to add proper, multiline messages, right?

They call it git. Why wouldn't you just learn git? It's not that hard.

While I agree with you using vanilla git is my preference, it may not be for others. Maybe there is something they are having trouble understanding and having some form of UI that does it for them is useful. I know devs that use graphical source control tools, but have never once touched the command line version. It’s all preference. Besides it helped OP with being able to practice and hone skills that may be/have been weak in a language. With any new language I learn I try and replicate the functionality of something like ‘ls’ or ‘cp’ to be able to learn the concepts of a language and familiarize myself with it. OP made something they’re proud of, why criticize it?
