In their defense, I don't see many linux users choosing GUI app over command line to handle git (unless they have it integrated in their IDE)

- r3bl 11y agoWell, to be honest, as a Linux user, I would definitely consider using GitHub's own GUI application instead of some application developed by a third party.
- yellowapple 11y agoAs a Linux user: I very much would at least try it. Magit works great for the git repos themselves, but when I'm on my work machine (a Macbook) I tend to use Github's Mac client in order to handle things Github-specific (particularly cloning and handling pull requests).
- mhw 11y agoI use git primarily on Linux, but I don't use an IDE. I frequently use 'git gui' to prepare commits - I particularly like the ability to select individual lines from a diff to include in a commit, breaking apart multiple changes to the same file when necessary. I also use gitk a lot. I'm very comfortable using the command line, but it's not correct to assume that command line users wouldn't want a GUI tool as well.
