Git vs Gittyup
Both stand on git gui clients. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.
Free plan Mac
Choose Git if you need free, open-source distributed version control for a project of any stated size, with self-hosting and extensive learning materials. Look elsewhere if you need large-file handling built in without an extension or a specific feature beyond the listed version control capabilities.
