I added a Git repo as a submodule to my existing project which is also Git managed, I did these in command line, and I use GitBox to manage my projects, then when I open GitBox, it just crashed, I tried many times and even restarted the machine.

I wanted to remove the Gitbox settings and make it as a newly installed app, but did not find it. What else can I try?

Thanks!

Get an uninstallation app (e.g. AppCleaner) and remove everything it finds but the gitbox app itself.

Then relaunch gitbox - unfortunately you will have to re-add the repos you were working with to gitbox but this will get you past the crash.

Deleting ~/Library/Preferences/com.oleganza.gitbox.plist resolved the problem here.

Had similar problems with gitbox after xcode updates. This worked for me, these directions are from the app author:

  1. Quit Gitbox.
  2. Delete ~/Library/Preferences/com.oleganza.gitbox.plist
  3. Run in Terminal: defaults delete com.oleganza.gitbox
  4. Run in Terminal: git config --global push.default matching
  5. Open Gitbox.

You may also need to run "git config push.default matching" in your repository if you have other value for "push.default" there.

No need to uninstall Gitbox and lose your repo list - just delete Library/Saved\ Application\ State/com.oleganza.gitbox.savedState/
