I'm not ashamed to admit that I just really like the GitHub Desktop app. It's super easy to use, integrates nicely into GitHub.com and Azure / GitHub Enterprise which is what 100% of my clients use. It has every feature I need except:
- an easy way to reset but I just switch to the command line for that - it's the only cli command I have to know
- decent submodule support (at least, as of the last time I was on a project that used these awful things)
- decent cherry picking (which I've only had to use when on project with awful merges - like when using submodules...)
- clintonb 4y agoThere is no shame in using the tools you like best, whether they be GUI or CLI. I use the command line for everything but resolving merge conflicts. I really like the JetBrains UX for resolving them!
- Ayesh 4y agoNothing to be ashamed of either. Several years ago, there was a GitHub Desktop app that neatly contained git binaries with added GitHub UIs. That's what finally made Git "click" for me. I no longer use it, and tend to use the Git CLI and JetBrains' tooling, but I still enjoy GitHub-CLI to easily checkout PRs.
