I'm wondering if you use any (graphical) clients to manage your Git, and if so, what client you use.

I myself have to use git professionally across all 3 major OS-es, and I currently use Sourcetree on Windows and macOS, and the Git tools built-in into IntelliJ on Linux.

Have given MaGit a try, but just couldn't get all the shortcuts to stick in my mind.

Interested to hear your experiences!

It's what I use when I need a bit of a UI for some things. I use the terminal mostly but Lazygit is great.

It just works really well. I don't mind the terminal commands but lazygit makes using git just so much nicer

I mostly use git from the cli, but when I want to use a frontend, I use lazygit. (I just find it easier to use TUI for some things like only committing some of the changed files, squashing, or fixup commits.)

It works great from neovim so I've been using it a lot more since.
