What UIs are people using these days other than this? I'm mostly using command line but I like having something simple for commit editing and reviewing diffs file by file. I was using gitg for the last months on a linux laptop for this, which is fine but not spectacular. I got my new mac (finally) after waiting for that for several months yesterday and to my pleasant surprise, gitx is still being maintained and getting updates: https://github.com/gitx/gitx https://github.com/gitx/gitx I've used that for many years and I love it. But curious to hear what others use. Closed source is a bit of a non starter for me usually.

I use gitg as well, I think it does a fine job of the important stuff for me (visualizing commit history, viewing diffs, managing branch operations) but it certainly is a bit on the bare-bones side of things. As a side-note, gitg will actually compile for MacOS, but modern GTK/GNOME libs are really poorly optimized for the platform. If it didn't make my Mac 70c when launching gitg, I'd probably feel more comfortable using it as my only git client.

I've used GitUp for years: https://gitup.co https://gitup.co Free, open source, and has really nice keyboard navigation / shortcuts.

I really like Sublime Merge. The interface should be an easy transition coming from the CLI (its focus seems to be on making the CLI convenient over creating a pretty interface like Tower and Kraken and SourceTree try to). And it's from Sublime, one of the most consistently high quality development teams out there.

Have been really happy with Fork. I wish I could pay them more for updates (not a subscription though).

I think the nicest interface to git is magit: https://emacsair.me/2017/09/01/magit-walk-through/ https://emacsair.me/2017/09/01/magit-walk-through/ It's excellent for keyboard-driven workflows.
