Discussion on: Do you use some kind of GUI for git, and if you do, when do you have to resort to terminal?

I used to use VS Code's built-in Git GUI, which was nice, but I started running into issues with it and I find its diff not to my tastes.

After that, I've been using Fork. It's super simple, nice and clean and clear and works well on different platforms. I've never had to resort to terminal and I prefer the visual aspect of dealing with potentially tricky git operations.

Looks nice.

Have you have tried GitHub Desktop, or something else?

I wonder what does "Free Evaluation" means.

Oh yeah, forgot about that one: I do use GitHub desktop, but I find it doesn’t play well with third party repos. And it’s a little limited in doing some for things. But it is ace.

Not sure about the ‘free evaluation’ part. I’ve been using it for months without needing to purchase it.
