I'm wondering if you use any (graphical) clients to manage your Git, and if so, what client you use.

I myself have to use git professionally across all 3 major OS-es, and I currently use Sourcetree on Windows and macOS, and the Git tools built-in into IntelliJ on Linux.

Have given MaGit a try, but just couldn't get all the shortcuts to stick in my mind.

Interested to hear your experiences!

Off topic: day-after-day with these kinds of posts and especially the replies, I need Reddit less and less. That's a very good thing.

Sorry, guess the replies are too tame. Let me help you with that.

Anything more than the git CLI is a joke. Real developers should know how to raw-dog that thing. If you're not octopus merging your rebased branches to deploy to prod, you're just not a real developer.

(I use gitui)

Fair comment.

IANA developer at all. Mostly just keeping records of my dotfiles and odd bits I have playing with., and the experiments I try to run using branches. Sometimes I need a visual representation of the commits and hashes to make it easier to understand what I'm doing.

git is my only nemesis.
