thank me later

I'm using GitHub Desktop.

Should have just gone with my gut before posting - it was one of my external repos. In my case it was the repo for https://github.com/shiftkey/desktop but for anyone else reading I would recommend temporarily disabling all non-Pop OS sources (whether you do that via the Pop Shop/Gnome Software or through the terminal with something like sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/sources.list.d/temp/ && sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/temp/) and then slowly re-enabling repos one by one and running updates until you find the problematic one.

GitHub is a popular code repository hosting service, and provides source control through a Web-based interface or desktop application. GitHub Desktop for Linux is not available from the app's primary download page, but it is available under the Assets section of each release.

This package is: https://github.com/shiftkey/desktop

https://github.com/gitx/gitx/releases this is refreshed for Mac m1 m2 arm 64 released September 2022

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.
