gitupdate VS sublime_merge

I use Sublime Merge (https://www.sublimemerge.com) for all git commands. For automating commits on things like curated lists / wikis / .. I use gitupdate (https://github.com/nikitavoloboev/gitupdate)

gitupdate is a simple improvement on this idea. gitupdate . commits your files but uses the file names (but not extensions) of the changed files to create a more meaningful commit message. It's great for times when the commit message doesn't matter.

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!
