There is Fork. But sadly, it is not available for Linux. Git-fork.com

Bookmarking this. I have such high hopes for this! I recently went searching for my new git GUI, looking for something free, cross-platform, and simple. Basically what I found is the only one I like is GitKraken, which is not free (I have private projects, which GitKraken paywalls).
If this ends up anything like how these screenshots look, this will be my new client! Do you have a Patreon or other donation mechanism?

Fork is only “free” in that the evaluation period is indefinite. This is generous and clicking through the nag isn’t a huge deal, but I develop on both Linux and Windows and I need a client that supports both.

Ah, sorry. I didn’t see that you require it to be free. It is also not open source IIRC.
TwinHaelix@reddthat.com 1 year ago
Open source is a definite plus, but tbh not a requirement for me. Actively maintained, free, Windows and Linux, and simple. Oh, and it has to have a dark theme 😄

Thank you so much!
I have a GitHub sponsors page (unsure if i can link it here) under this same name.

Sublime merge has been really good. It’s a free trial like sublime text

I also loved git kraken but due to the pay walls and stuff, I switched to GitAhead and found it to be similar enough and have been using it for things/projects when I find lazygit to be inadequate.

You maybe know this but GitAhead was discontinued, but the maintained fork is called Gittyup: github.com/Murmele/Gittyup

Vscode and git lens. If you are older like me, emacs and magit

Isn’t there a magit-alike putting for vscode. I have found it so frustrating working with devs who don’t use magit, because most seem to find slightly more advanced git like squash and fixup and cherry picking to be impossibly hard.

For these reasons, I always push for simple and straightforward workflows and many commits and merges. For many people git remains a mistery also after years working on it. I blame the easy-to-use gui, many people learn 2 buttons to press for a workflow, and they never care learning more
sping@lemmy.sdf.org 1 year ago
All the people I’ve worked with seem to use the command line. They just don’t know much beyond “commit everything” and basic push/pull/branch/merge.
Conversely I learned most of what they don’t know direct from the magit GUI. So I often don’t know the specific command arguments. Not a good thing, but only a problem communicating what to do to others.

Unfortunately, GitLens is by GitKraken. Seems like they might not restrict it for private repos, though, I’ll check it out.

They dont restrict it, I use it with private repos all the time
jeffhykin@lemm.ee 1 year ago
This^ plus ungit (especially when things go really bad; e.g. force pull/push) seems to be the current ideal git workflow.
Hopefully this project will change that though!
