  • magit

    It's Magit! A Git Porcelain inside Emacs.

  • Magit my dude. Worth it having Emacs installed just for this. https://magit.vc/

  • GitUp

    The Git interface you've been missing all your life has finally arrived.

  • Gitup \Mac only]) and the command line at the same time. There are some esoteric commands I can’t remember so it’s nice having a GUI to do it and it’s nice having visual feedback incase of a screwup.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • gum

    A tool for glamorous shell scripts 🎀

  • Been writing scripts for a couple of workflows using gum. Loading stash based on branch name and rebasing feature branches. Mostly to learn more about git and play around with the underapprecated CLI front-end engineering/design.

  • tortoisegit

    Windows Explorer Extension to Operate Git; Mirror of official repository https://tortoisegit.org/sourcecode

  • Instead on my PC I use TortoiseGit. Most useful for the git log (as a graph), diff with previous versions,, filter files to commit by directory and ability to exclude files from the current commit, and most of all; ease of splitting a commit for each single file into parts by ability to "restore after commit" which allows you to edit a file before the commit and have it automatically restored to the pre-commit state afterwards.

  • lazygit

    simple terminal UI for git commands

  • On CLI, using lazygit. If I wasn't using IntelliJ, I'd use Meld for 3-way merges.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
