    Focus on what matters instead of fighting with Git.

  • 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.

  • Gittyup

    Understand your Git history!

  • tig

    Text-mode interface for git

    it is part of my workflow for years. I prefer direct git commands. But sometimes it is nice to explore history and complex changes there. And most of the parameters are the same as `git diff ...` just `tig ...` with (almost always) same values for the ellipsis.

  • vscode-git-graph

    View a Git Graph of your repository in Visual Studio Code, and easily perform Git actions from the 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.

    Also looking at GitLens: https://www.gitkraken.com/gitlens

    ..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.
