I ask because I like console, but at the same time have difficulties remembering all the commands. I’d like to try a GUI that is comfortable to use with only a keyboard.

My inbox got fediversized, fantastic feeling.

      I am using it too and I love it. I only know source tree as a competitor and in comparision it sucks…

      You dont have to pay for it, even when using it comercially (unpess they changed that)

        It has a “free evaluation” that I think can be as long as you want it to be / honor system.
        Its been worth it to me to pick up a license and support the development though. Its reasonably priced (for a dev tool) / no subscription and definitely beats the free clients I was using before (Sourcetree/GithubDesktop).

      Came here to recommend it too, really neat and practical tool and I haven’t found a better alternative yet. Honestly I don’t know why are people so against GUI git tools, it makes visualizing branches and commits so much more easier. I don’t think you can use it only with your keyboard as OP asked though, dunno how important that is to them.

    Magit with emacs (doom emacs to be fully honest). More a TUI, but definitely fully keyboard driven :)

      Same here. I don’t even use emacs for development anymore (I use IntelliJ since all my work is on the JVM and Typescript) but I still have an emacs running in the background for magit and org-mode. Magit is insanely effective for performing complex rebasing and cherry-picking tasks.

      I use it as well! Not sure if it’s a flatpak thing, but for some reason I need to re-enter credentials for my git remotes for each push. What’s your experience?

        No problems here but I only use SSH keys which are configured on my ~/.ssh directory.

        I assume you can use ssh-agent somehow to save your credentials.

    Lazygit changed how I use git, it is so easy to do all the daily essentials like branching, committing, and merging, but also also does more advanced things like interactive rebasing when needed.

    I had searched for a proper git client, that was free and open source plus worked on both Linux and Windows, for a long time and I haven’t looked back after finding lazygit.

    These days I can run everything I need to with the git cli. I use the JetBrains visual merge tool to resolve conflicts, because doing that by hand is so awfully error prone, it very very intuitively maps to a visual process

    No, I find typing faster than clicking and I’ve been using git for so long the commands are second nature to me.

      What I prefer most about an UI is the better sense of overview over the repository and it’s branches.

      I find, when compared to people I’ve worked with that prefer plain git, that I’m much quicker at finding certain changes or seeing what is in which branch with GitExtensions.

      Learn some keyboard shortcuts! I don’t use the mouse for most interactions in Sublime Merge but the visual presentation and occasional mouse usage makes it much nicer than the command line, imo

    I use a 50%-50% mix between git CLI and the built-in git tools in JetBrains IDEs.

    To be honest, I could quite easily get by with just the JetBrains GUI - they have a super sophisticated GUI that can easily handle things like interactive rebase, cherry-picking, etc + they have a great conflict resolution tool. I just use the cli every now and then if I want to get something done quickly while I don’t have an IDE window open.

      This one. It’s sophisticated and easy to navigate.

      I generally do conflict resolution in Jetbrains IDEs and everything else in CLI. Occasionally, I might commit from the IDE if I only want a single file.

      I mostly use the CLI but when I used to use PyCharm the JetBrain git GUI was the shit. The closest to it in a standalone program I’ve seen is maybe sublime merge, which is also great.

    TortoiseGit user here. Love that it integrates with Windows Explorer so I don’t have to constantly be opening an app first to fire off some Git commands.

    I actually like the tooling built into VS Code. Added the GitHub Pull Requests and Issues extension for the PRs, pretty happy with it all at the moment. Before that I like a specific older version of SourceTree that didn’t forget your credentials.

    Apart from the cli, gitk and git-gui are plenty good in my opinion, they could always be made better. And they are mostly always there with git Only thing I am miasing now is blame.
