Cool and useful project!

I'm guessing the name is a reference to the popular (well, at least back in the days...) TortoiseSVN application which did something similar for Subversion?

There is also a TortoiseGit that is based on TortoiseSVN

It's a reference to the animal used on the cover of the Subversion book, like how the major text on compilers has a dragon, and is referred to as "the dragon book".

Wow, this looks very neat and usefull! I have been using lazygit on the terminal for some years, but do occasionally miss a real GUI for git.

Somewhat related: I have seen a lot of GNOME / GTK4 apps popping up lately, often distributed as flatpaks. It feels like more and more devs trust the platform and are having fun developing for it!

Flatpak has been quite deeply integrated into the GNOME/GTK development process, as well as GNOME itself, it's effectively the de-facto GNOME package format at this point.

Also, libadwaita makes it easier to develop applications, it unties the platform from GTKs very slow release cycle.
