  1. sublime_merge

    Issue tracker for Sublime Merge

    I can recommend https://www.sublimemerge.com

    It's fast and nice to work with. I actually use it in conjunction with the command line (zsh w/ autocomplete so I normally only type the first one or two letters of each recurrent command to get the completion, hit return, done) specifically to pick those portions of each file that I want to go into a given commit. Occasionally I use some more advanced features like file history.

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

  4. GitExtensions

    Git Extensions is a standalone UI tool for managing git repositories. It also integrates with Windows Explorer and Microsoft Visual Studio (2015/2017/2019).

  5. vscode-git-graph

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

  6. dfm

    A dotfile management tool for pair programmers. (by chasinglogic)

    It uses git under the covers but my tool for dotfile management abstracts over it so you rarely have to interact unless you want to:

  7. gitui

    Blazing 💥 fast terminal-ui for git written in rust 🦀

    I use gitui. Its a TUI written in rust and it is great. I mainly use it for looking at the gitlog, committing, and pushing.
