GitExtensions VS ShareX

I agree that git is almost asking you to juggle commits.

My preference is to use temporary branches and cherry-picking instead of stashing; I mostly use a gui* to work with git so it is easy to select the two or three commits to cherry-picking or see visually if an interactive rebase would work.

I use Git Extensions myself as I find the git interface very straight forward, however they still have this fucking insane and frustrating issue: In the mergetool "Theirs" and "Mine" are swapped

Git Extensions is a more-intuitive way to manage your Git repositories in Windows. Its standalone interface serves as an effective, CLI-free means to control Git. Preferred by namtab00, because "SourceTree hides and shortcuts too much git functionality."

If you're on Windows, I'd start with installing official Git. It comes with a Git Bash CLI and what not. There are also third party apps like GitExtensions and TortoiseGit if you want more UI/shell integration.

Everyone's going to downvote this, but I prefer the GUI over the command-line. I use http://gitextensions.github.io/

https://github.com/gitextensions/gitextensions/releases/tag/v2.51.05 - nice little ui for working with git. unfortunately, v2.51.05 is the last version that I can confirm works under mono (it was the last 2.x version and they completely rewrote the code from scratch in the 3.x series. My understanding was that it lost Linux compatibility at that point).

Git is arcane as it is powerful. Consider using a UI like Git Extensions to get better visualizations / understanding of what's going on.

One thing that's not immediately clear is that git is the same no matter what git client you're using - so if you're struggling to remember the commands and syntax and all that, don't be afraid to use a git tool with a UI to make it a bit easier. I really like Git Extensions as a free, open source GUI for git but others swear by the likes of Git Kraken and Sublime Merge.

Best For Screenshots/Recording: ShareX

ShareX [1] is my other "must install" app. I never would have guessed how much my branch of engineering consists of "take a screenshot and draw lines, arrows and circles on it." Being able to customize my workflow to do all of that is really great.

Incase you are having a hard time with sharing screenshots use this https://getsharex.com/

Oh yeah, and it's totally free.

ShareX is the tool you want. I don't know why it never gets a mention.

If only OBS was somewhat lighter, I'd have used it. You need an Intel i5 or Ryzen 1300x processor for a "minimum requirements", imagine what would it take for a decent performance!

Instead, I use another app called ShareX [1] which is much lighter on the OS and processor. It may not have all the features but you can easily create a screencast or recording session with ease.
