Re: Renaming gitg project file to GNOME Commits
GNOME Git seems pretty reasonable. I'm not sure there's a large discoverability issue with "gitg" though. It shows up when I search "git" in GNOME Software... I don't know if we have a policy for "gnome front-ends to existing third party tools", but there's already a small precedence with https://github.com/vinszent/gnome-twitch#-gnome-twitch (Too bad https://github.com/bahmutov/ggit is a thing.)

Re: Renaming gitg project file to GNOME Commits
Seing https://git-scm.com/downloads/guis and asumming GNOME is a desktop environment (GUI is supposed) maybe GNOME Git Tool, but tool is little redundant here, that's why looking for something that this git GUI Tool can do. Maybe GNOME Git Commits as it shows them (history) and creates them.

Re: Renaming gitg project file to GNOME Commits
I'm fine with idea of giving it a fresh name. Gitg never really made sense to me, though I never knew the reasoning behind it. GNOME Commits might be clear to all people familiar with git, but for the average user they might think it's an activist app or something. Or like a charity app. This might not be a legitimate concern, just a thought On Tue, Oct 9, 2018, 11:35 PM Alberto Fanjul Alonso wrote: > On gitg we are considering to adopt GNOME Commits as project name. > > Same as nautilus is GNOME Files, we though that gitg (a joke around > gitx and software which at some point in time use to have a G around to > denote it is under GNOME) is not easy to locate for people looking for a > git GUI viewer. > > We want to be sure that do not cause any problem downstream or in > development. > > There's an open issue about that > https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gitg/issues/138 > > Side note: We are looking for a new icon, since now we use the one from > git.

Renaming gitg project file to GNOME Commits
On gitg we are considering to adopt GNOME Commits as project name. Same as nautilus is GNOME Files, we though that gitg (a joke around gitx and software which at some point in time use to have a G around to denote it is under GNOME) is not easy to locate for people looking for a git GUI viewer.
