Fork on windows, SourceGit on Linux, both have a similar UI layout to SourceTree, but are much faster/snappier.
I really like having a clear overview of the commit history, branches and current local state. I haven't figured out yet how to get such an "at a glance" overview in the CLI.
For advanced stuff the CLI is still very convenient.
I second Fork, been using it for years and it's fast, able to handle multiple actions at once. Can't recommend it enough!
Have to take a look at Fork (annoying name to Google I image). Sourcetree can be quite sluggish and downright annoying on macOS.
Ditto on the CLI having its pro's and cons
Fork is the best as far as GUI goes, but you can't use a search engine to find any support information.
I second sourcegit. When I need to I'll drop into the clu. But it's so much easier to just look at the branches in sourcegit.
It's like an open source gitkracken.
