Personally, GitExtensions... github desktop is a pile of turds but git CLI introduces unnecessary stress precisely when I don't want it.

I really like Sourcetree, been using that for a long time.

GitLens?

GitHub Desktop is literally "Baby's first git GUI".

The GitHub CLI is magic.

I only use it to clone projects via the Open in GitHub desktop link.

Well one runs on Linux and the other doesn't so....

Ohmyzsh with the git plugin is my fave - gaa & gcmsg "a commit" feels like the right level of verbosity for me.

Fork is much better than GitHub Desktop, you can use it without paying indefinitely

For something with such an horrible interface, it's amazing how often people that create a new interface for it manage to make it worse.

CLI because linux

I feel those captions are the wrong way round

Gitgui is pretty great too if you need a bit of interactivity. It's bare bones and no bullshit but can still do like 90% of what all the other fancy tools can do.

git-cola and my own gitea server, near perfection
