Yes, this is very sad. I hope he is alive and doing well. As to Git GUI: if you know your way around Tcl/Tk reasonably well, how about stepping up and reviewing those PRs? Even if the PRs are not merged, a review would do those PRs pretty good and we could then take things from there. > Is there any hope from here that anyone will pick up this / these > changes?

Reviewing those PRs would go a long way to earn that trust. > Just hoping to revive the discussion here, since the > https://github.com/patthoyts/git-gui/ repository seems quite dead. Thank you for doing this. I also hope that somebody with reasonable understanding of Tcl/Tk and a vested interest in Git GUI takes up the responsibility of maintaining it. Judging by the rate the PRs trickled into https://github.com/patthoyts/git-gui, I think it would be a minor time commitment. Ciao, Johannes
