Stop using GitX and start using GitX

The best free git GUI for OS X is definitely GitX but the version that you've probably already come across is not the best version of GitX.
The original version developed by Pieter de Bie hasn't been updated for three years, but a fork, developed by Rowan James, is still under constant development (as of today the last commit was three days ago), and has some nice UI enhancements as well as other under the hood improvements to remove some of the legacy code.
