git-nomad VS sublime_merge

> I separate file backup and version control. I keep every git repository I'm working on in Dropbox, and don't ever worry about how often I'm committing and pushing.

Motivated by a slightly different use case (seamless syncing across multiple machines), I built a custom tool that solves this concern within `git`: https://github.com/rraval/git-nomad

You can toss `git nomad sync` into a systemd timer (or cronjob if you prefer) and forget about it.

I've used this before and it is great. I mainly use Sublime Merge these days, though: https://www.sublimemerge.com/

Other good graphical git clients I have used in the past are Sublime Merge https://www.sublimemerge.com/ and SmartGit https://www.syntevo.com/smartgit/.

They are usually not expensive, and I learned git with GUIs.

I’m in the same boat. The best I’ve come up with is sublime merge, works well but I miss the keyboard shortcuts and it being part of the editor

Even though I am pretty comfortable (or was) with git cli, I'm not going back from sublime merge

Personally, I find it really helps me to see the repo history visualized as a tree, so I currently use Sublime Merge. I've used GitKraken and Sourcetree in the past. The git reference documentation maintains a list of git GUI clients, including mobile apps!
