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.

    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.

    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.

    I used to use SourceTree but it runs horribly and switched to Fork years ago and never looked back. I use VSCode for merge conflict resolution.

    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

    I use the VS Code built-in git support for making commits, and fall back to the CLI for anything else.

    You won’t have trouble remembering commands once you use them often enough. And you don’t need to know all of them, just the ones your workflow uses. My toolbox is commit, checkout, status, reset, rebase -i, merge, bisect. That’s all I need day-to-day.

      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.

      I used to swear by the git CLI. After using GitKraken for a few days, I shelled out the $95 for an annual license. It’s really good.

      I use GK for everything and usually only use CLI when there’s something a little exotic. I like seeing it update in real time on another screen and I like the diff engine for quickly assessing changes and making sure everything I expected was altered and nothing I didn’t. I know there are other tools but GitKraken is the fastest for me.

      Also have found it a good tool for teaching other engineers (usually older) how Git works. We tried out Sourcetree but it was super clunky at the time.

      If I had to find a tool between pure CLI and pure GUI I’d probably recommend Emacs Magit porcelain. Works quite well.
