- nusaru 4y agoYou're not wrong. Personally, I just used GitHub's web UI to preview my PRs, but I suppose having a local GUI makes it easier to amend commits and not have to force push changes.

- steve_adams_86 4y agoIt was mentioned elsewhere but you might find Sublime Merge to be useful; it's not based on Electron, it's very fast, and it makes working with various git workflows a lot nicer (to me, at least).
- david2ndaccount 4y agoYou can use `git difftool` to view the diff in your tool of choice (including gui editors).
- u801e 4y agoI've found piping the output of git diff to my editor makes it much easier to browse compared to using the UI. For instance, searching for a particular file or line of code it much easier in the editor compared to the browser.
