Have you looked at using a good gui for the repository? I find that helps a lot with the mess.
I used to use Git Extensions and lately I've been using the one built into IntelliJ's products. It's not as good, but it's available on mac, so my options are limited.
- jmchuster 6y agoFor git on mac, i've found https://www.git-tower.com/ https://www.git-tower.com/ to be ridiculously good. Now that i primarily work on linux, i've settled for Sublime Merge, which has customizable actions, but isn't as intuitive a match for how i want scm to work, like Tower was.
- TheRealDunkirk 6y agoI pay for this out of my own pocket without hesitation. They allow you to use your license on 2 different machines. I do most of my work on my personal Mac, but also keep Tower on my work laptop, so I can do the things I need to do there. I briefly tried Fork, but went back to Tower (and Kaleidosope.) You can pry Sublime Text out of my cold, dead hands, but I find Merge to be confusing.
- brundolf 6y agoYeah, I usually use a GUI. I used SourceTree for a long time but it's gone downhill in recent years. VSCode's integration is great for simple stuff, but it's fairly limited. I haven't found one that I'm happy with across the board.

- selfhoster11 6y agoPersonally I love using `git gui` for picking and choosing what goes into my commits line by line. Git command line is plenty powerful, but a dash of GUI here and there does sometimes do wonders for precision and visualisation.
