    I did find a fork of a fork at https://github.com/gitx/gitx, dunno if this is worth the trouble to download and build, or there's a package I can download somewhere.

    What UIs are people using these days other than this? I'm mostly using command line but I like having something simple for commit editing and reviewing diffs file by file. I was using gitg for the last months on a linux laptop for this, which is fine but not spectacular. I got my new mac (finally) after waiting for that for several months yesterday and to my pleasant surprise, gitx is still being maintained and getting updates: https://github.com/gitx/gitx

    I've used that for many years and I love it. But curious to hear what others use. Closed source is a bit of a non starter for me usually.

    Presumably most people use an editor or IDE for coding and it's likely that editor or IDE could also be used to display diffs, so I don't really see colors or fonts being an issue. The IDE or editor could also be configured to use colors and fonts similar to what's used in Github. For example, vim has a colorscheme[1] that's similar to what Github offers.
