  Is there a really good free Git GUI for Linux? I have tried a bunch of them but all the good ones seem to be paid.

    I like SourceTree and it’s free. I don’t use it all the time, but if I’ve made a bunch of changes debugging something and I want to easily discard all of the debugging-only changes, the UI makes it really easy to commit or discard individual lines from the changeset.

    Additionally, I set up an alias to open it from the command line (stree) and have it show whatever git directory I opened it from.

      Will it run on Linux? I use Sourcetree on Windows but didn’t think it was available for Linux.

    Gittyup, a fork of GitAhead, is my favorite.

      Thanks. I’ll check it out.

  If my colleagues mess something up in their fancy GUIs, they come to me to fix it in the terminal.

    My experience is the opposite. A colleague who uses SourceTree and git console (for use cases not covered by SourceTree) asked me a few times to fix his branches when something went wrong (after using git console). I easily fixed it using SmartGit (paid software).
