vscode-git-graph VS Gittyup

Quite a while ago, the GitLens+ plugin gained the Commit Graph feature--the same graph you see in GitKraken. Until then I had used Git Graph for visualizing my repositories and GitLens+ for git blame in the GUI. Since one plugin could now do both, the natural course of action was to remove the other--goodbye, Git Graph!

I'm a paying user of Fork, it's my favorite Git GUI, I love it.

However, it "only" supports macOS and Windows. I'm migrating to Linux for my work and home computers, so I haven't used it in a while, just so I can get familiar with other tools available on Linux - and, importantly, learning to do more advanced Git operations in the terminal.

So far I still depend on a GUI, mainly VS Code's built-in Git integration and GitGraph.

..But I sure miss using Fork. I used it everyday for the last couple years. It does everything I want to do with Git, the UI is familiar and well-designed.

I see the main developer @DanPristupov is on HN, maybe he'd consider supporting Linux? I fully understand if you don't, since creating the same application for two OSes must be quite difficult already, especially for a small team rather than a company.

Probably the most underrated software I use daily are some of my Firefox extensions.

https://github.com/einaregilsson/Redirector redirects my YouTube, Google, Twitter and Reddit links to privacy friendly frontends (i.e. Invidious, Startpage, Nitter and Libreddit).

https://github.com/proginosko/LeechBlockNG helps me staying away from time sinks on the internet during the day.

On the development side I use...

https://github.com/aaronvegh/nsregextester as my tried and true tool for regex debugging.

https://github.com/mhutchie/vscode-git-graph is a marvelous Git GUI for VSCode.

VS Code does not appear to provide a stylesheet or anything to help you get off the ground, AFAICT… I wish they did. Every extension I know of has to implement basic components from scratch, styling and all. Seems like a lot of boilerplate is necessary before you can start developing anything the user will see on screen.

As to which git client to use, I highly recommend Tower -- if you want a free option then Gittyup is pretty good.

nope, they are just stating fork is good. Which honestly, fork doesn't seem that great. https://github.com/Murmele/Gittyup is what I recommend if you want to support open source. Gitkraken if you don't mind paying and have the patience to deal with electron.

I can't imagine using a paid, closed-source git client when https://github.com/desktop/desktop and https://github.com/Murmele/Gittyup are both great.

Maybe 10 years ago, but not now that open-source alternatives are so mature and feature-rich.

I've tried installing my favourite git client Gittyup with flatpak as the dev recommends here: https://github.com/Murmele/Gittyup

Interesting spreadsheet!

For a Git GUI for Linux (and Windows), you might like GitAhead which builds under Linux? It's not under active development but has been forked to GittyUp: https://github.com/Murmele/Gittyup
