Wow, this crap even charges 10 bucks?

There was a open source Git plugin for Sublime long time ago.

https://github.com/kemayo/sublime-text-git




Are you saying that because it's actually crap or you just don't want to spend money on software?


The point is there is already someone who has implemented the almost the exact same functionalities, and its code is open source. However, it seems like someone is still shamelessly trying to capitalize on it.


What makes it crap?

It's a brilliant plugin, with a great unlimited "trial". I've not came across any bugs, nor have I had any issues with it. So again, what makes it crap?


It's a crap because it's created by someone who is stupid enough to try recreating something that's already been created long time ago. Use it to capitalize on you sublime novices.


This is the great thing about having alternatives. If you don't want to use it, don't. If you prefer something else, use that.

Why does using a plugin make us novices? I'm proficient in Git and Sublime. I've written several plugins myself.
