Hi everyone,

       I have encountered a rather hairy issue, which I believe most likely lies in gnustep-gui but in fact could lie anywhere in the dozens of dependencies my project has. I am currently porting the macOS Git client GitUp <https://github.com/git-up/GitUp> to GNUstep on Clang on Linux, and the examples for using the underlying Git library called GitUpKit are failing to work properly. The example GitDiff launches and allows you to select a repository to view. However, it immediately closes. When I modify -[AppDelegate applicationShouldTerminateAfterLastWindowClosed:] to return NO, then it displays an empty window. The same happens with GitDown. Meanwhile, the example GitY uses a hacky way to allow selecting repositories with the file picker (which I think is unnecessary), and due to its hacky nature it doesn't work on GNUstep. I might look into that more, but the issue of the empty window is very perplexing. I have a build guide available at https://github.com/ethanc8/GitUp/blob/gnustep/GitUpKit/DebianBuildGuide.md, and a more detailed explanation of the issue at https://github.com/ethanc8/GitUp/issues/1.

Thanks,

Ethan
