Nice article, but IMHO not deep enough. I used git command line for a long time, but then moved to visual tools.
Currently I use an awesome visual client: Fork. It really simplifies my work with git.
In the past I used GitKraken which is similar to Fork, but has more features.

Fork looks cool, will try that out. Currently using Gitkraken and built in JetBrains tools but I like the way this looks. I used to use command line too but when you have 20 plus repos it's so much easier to treat these like projects inside a GUI. Thanks for mentioning this. Edit: Dang no Linux client... I need all platforms.

For Windows there is atlassian sourcetree.
BTW many IDE have git plugins or capabilities to easy your work.

I agree, thanks for mentioning. I used Atlassian SourceTree before, but IMHO it is not such intuitive as Fork or GitKraken.
Regarding IDEs, I sometimes use the integration of WebStorm and InelliJ Idea, but still prefer the tools I mentioned.
