Hey, I'm as big a fan of the command line as the next guy. Personally, I use Git. But I'd give my eye teeth (metaphorically) for a really good Git GUI.

IMHO, version control isn't suited well to the command line. There are too many different options and operations to remember.

Hm, can you block the update server in your hosts file?

Hey Ken_g6. If you have a Mac, GitX is a good GUI for reviewing changes in Git, but I wouldn't use it for actual committing or branching. It's nice to look at the log, see the file changes, but that's about it.

I think we all have to agree to disagree. We all have our preferences. Some of us ARE faster on CLI than GUI, because we can work that way, but some people are faster/more comfortable with a GUI. It's personal preference.

As for the OP, contact the developers and see if there's a way to turn off the alerts for updates. If not, ask for it. Sometimes developers, you know, listen to their client base.

If you really want a gui for git on a Mac, I highly recommend Tower ( http://www.git-tower.com/ ). It really is the best GUI for git I've ever used, blows GitX away IMHO.

I still prefer the command line, but this tool is very slick.
