What Git clients do you use? (feddit.nl)

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!

gitui and the plain old git cli

This is very satisfying to use and is a nice companion to the command line - I particularly use it to stage only certain lines and files from the changes.

I tried lazygit first, but there was a consistent lag that was probably only ¼ second but it ruined the experience for me.
