Compatibility issues #1
Description
Even though Electron is suppose to be cross platform, it is apparently not. Current implementation only works on Windows. Electron won't install on Ubuntu unless the install script has root (which NPM doesn't allow by default). Even after installing with --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root, reading from clipboard just hang.
There is another major issue where Git doesn't want to show GUI password prompt and end up hanging forever. If Git is set to store credentials, it is supposed to work after the credentials are cached, but it seems that unless SimpleGitGUI is started as administrator, Windows will refuse to let it read the credentials stored by Git. It used to work, but not anymore, for some reason.
I really need to rewrite this using Qt...
