Fork, aka the footgun git UI that repeatedly causes me to lose productive time to help junior devs unmangle their local repos.
I usually recommend SourceTree to them, not because it's particularly amazing, but it does enough while not breaking repos (as often).
- peppertree 4y agoMy experience has been exact opposite. SourceTree has been regressing since going Atlassian and Fork has been rock solid for years, especially for large repos.
- DanPristupov 4y agoHi. Dan from Fork is here. I guess there's some mistake. I answer a lot of user questions daily and this is the first time I hear about such a feedback. I would really appreciate if you could send me any details (by email or using the feedback button on the toolbar in Fork).
- cosmotic 4y agoIt sounds like you're blaming the jr devs or the fork app, but really you should be blaming the tool, git, for allowing users to mangle their repos.
- a_chris 4y agoOpposite situation for me. I've been using Sourcetree for YEARS and it was a PITA, so bad, slow and counterintuitive. On the other hand Fork saved my mental health and it's by far the best git manager I've always used. This is the only software I would be happy to pay for.
- duncanc4 4y agoI also had the opposite experience. I used Sourcetree for a while, but the performance became really bad, so I switch to Fork and have never looked back.
