Personally, GitExtensions... github desktop is a pile of turds but git CLI introduces unnecessary stress precisely when I don't want it.

I really like Sourcetree, been using that for a long time.

Ohmyzsh with the git plugin is my fave - gaa & gcmsg "a commit" feels like the right level of verbosity for me.

I feel those captions are the wrong way round

The GitHub CLI is magic.

Well one runs on Linux and the other doesn't so....

Fork is much better than GitHub Desktop, you can use it without paying indefinitely

CLI because linux

For something with such an horrible interface, it's amazing how often people that create a new interface for it manage to make it worse.

I only use it to clone projects via the Open in GitHub desktop link.

tig

gitui
