Do you use some GUI, TUI, terminal commands, plugins for other software?

Ideally, I want to find a cross-platform GUI app, preferably a FOSS one, and with as less overhead as possible, e.g. no Electron.

I just used whatever my company would provide, and since I changed company quite a bit, and SVC software with it, I never really learned anything beyond add, commit, push/pull (seriously) for the last 18 years. Then this winter they asked me to teach advanced git, so I went ahead and learnt all the fancy commands and I'm thoroughly enjoying the CLI with command completion.
