ungit VS desktop

Try Ungit for a few days.

My favorite Git client by far is https://github.com/FredrikNoren/ungit. Its approach of modeling the entire commit history as a digraph is the way God (or at least Linus) intended Git to be used.

Visualizing commits like that makes more interesting operations (e.g. cherry-picking, merging, rebasing, squashing) trivial to understand.

Ungit[0] shows what will happen to the tree before you execute a merge or rebase. It really helped me get a hang of Git.

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.
