vscode-git-graph VS sublime_merge

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.

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!
