Husband, Father, Software Engineer (PHP, go, etc.). Lover of Star Trek and anime.

Looking for other things to do, such as writing, acting, voice acting, but not really finding the time for it. Maybe when my kids are a little older, I'll get back on stage.

My nine-year-old has started getting into programming, and I'm trying to figure out how to ease him into it.

When I was his age, I learned using the Advanced BASIC Programming manual that came with the family Commodore 64. That was obviously a different time. It seems he already wants to learn Typescript.

He started with making a Gameboy game with GB Studio, but now wants to modify GB Studio itself to do new stuff.

Anyway, I'm looking for suggestions on a decent git GUI client that works on Linux. The kids' computer runs Fedora. I think I'm going with git-cola, but would love any other suggestions.
