Release terminal after launching GitFiend

First off, thanks for making Git so sexy... This is by far the most beautiful looking Git GUI client I've ever seen.. :grin:

I noticed on Linux (in my case, the Debian-based ZorinOS) that using the gitfiend [path] CLI command holds onto the launched process until that GitFiend instance is closed.. Naturally, we can get around this with something as simple as gitfiend [path] &, so I took it one step further and added the following quick and dirty function to my bash environment:

gf () {
  gitfiend $1 & disown $!
}

This allows me to run gf . and open the current folder in GitFiend without holding onto my current terminal instance..

I'm not sure if Mac or Windows has the same issue, but I was wondering if there was perhaps something that could be done in the app project to get around this?

Thanks!

I'm not aware of any nice way of doing this from my end. I could do it with an extra launch step, though that would take extra time to start.

Alrighty then, no worries.. Perhaps you could leave this issue open for the moment then?

It looks like GitFiend is packaged up as an Electron app, which I only know a little bit about, but I have been meaning to learn more for a while now. If this is the case, then I'll create a dummy project on my end a bit later and see what I find. (:
