Comment on GitHub Desktop or Git CLI?

Do they have a Linux client though?
I wish! The best Linux git gui I have found is SmartGit. I like it, but it’s just a little goofy and not free. Fork is better for its ability to very easily stage and/or stash a subset of the current changeset.
Anyone got any suggestions? I tried git-cola and gitkraken. The former I found obtuse and limited, and the latter is not free in addition to somehow making git harder with a pretty gui.
Gitkraken is free as long as the repository is public, which seems like an alright compromise to me. The only problem I had with it was that it was electron. What did it make harder for you?
I just really detest the UI.
The best ones I have found for Linux are SmartGit and Sublime Merge, but neither are free in any sense. Sublime Merge is slightly cheaper.
SmartGit is free if you use a hobby license. Cannot use it for commercial projects, but if using it for commercial projects you should be able to afford it
Right and that is how I currently use it

sadly no and i don’t think it works through wine
but technically they have a mac client which is basically an expensive version of linux

Not really. It’s BSD, and even then the layout of the OS is quite far from BSD. Besides that you have a lot more technical stuff. Just use wine.
