I started to use git and github, and really like it. Except for one thing, no all-in-one GUI for the Mac. There is GitX and it does just about everything except push your committed changes to git hub. So to fill that gap I made a small Mac Application Bundle from an Applescript that fires off the git command. Here’s a screen shot:

gitPush 1.0
It works by you dragging the app to the Finder toolbar. See it there on the right?
After committing your changes in GitX (or command line… ick) just navigate to the root of your local repo and click the octocat button in the toolbar. The icon becomes chromatic, the committed files get uploaded, the icon goes monochrome. Done.
Hurry, they’re going fast! http://github.com/WebVeteran/gitpush/

Has anyone gotten Google Gears to work on Firefox Mac?
‘Cuz I sure can’t get it to work. Which is a real bummer. The WordPress admin is many times faster in Safari with Gears running.
I have it installed correctly in Firefox. The Google page tells me so:

"Gears is installed"
And the Addons window agrees. But notice the Preferences button is greyed out.

Addons Window
So it all looks good so far. I go to enable Turbo in the WordPress admin. And am greeted with:

"Gears is installed on this computer, but is not enabled for use with WordPress."
OK no reason to be alarmed. I did install Gears but maybe it’s not enabled. So I click that button. Then I get:

"Your browser’s settings do not permit this website to use Google Gears."
So I obey again. I try to change the settings by using the Tools menu. Notice all other addons are disabled.

Tools Menu
When I do that, nothing happens. No window. No messages. Nothing.
Has anyone come across this before? Is there a fix or workaround? Thanks in advance!
