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!

I love Fork, bought the license to support the developer.

The only thing I don’t like is that there is no Linux version, asked the dev and he told me that the issue with Linux is that there are different distros with different GUI libraries so it would require multiple versions for Linux.

A bit saddened it I completely understand.

I paid for it too!

It's the first piece of shareware I actually went out of my way to pay for because it was so good that I’d be genuinely pissed off if it died. I'd probably end up switching to pijul or something else for my projects if it ever did.


I've seen a bunch of people messing the windows version running in linux in the fork forums, so it may be coming in an unsupported capacity.
