I’m wondering if you use any (graphical) clients to manage your Git, and if so, what client you use.

I myself have to use git professionally across all 3 major OS-es, and I currently use Sourcetree on Windows and macOS, and the Git tools built-in into IntelliJ on Linux.

Have given MaGit a try, but just couldn’t get all the shortcuts to stick in my mind.

Interested to hear your experiences!

    Fork on windows, SourceGit on Linux, both have a similar UI layout to SourceTree, but are much faster/snappier.

    I really like having a clear overview of the commit history, branches and current local state. I haven’t figured out yet how to get such an “at a glance” overview in the CLI.

    For advanced stuff the CLI is still very convenient.

      I second Fork, been using it for years and it’s fast, able to handle multiple actions at once. Can’t recommend it enough!

      Have to take a look at Fork (annoying name to Google I image). Sourcetree can be quite sluggish and downright annoying on macOS.

      Ditto on the CLI having its pro’s and cons

      I second sourcegit. When I need to I’ll drop into the clu. But it’s so much easier to just look at the branches in sourcegit.

      It’s like an open source gitkracken.
