Discussion on: What GIT GUI client do you use?

I don't use a git gui, i'm far faster with command line.

It take a while to know the commands and options, but once you learn them you become much more productive.

It allows you to use git on any computer, help others fix their git mistakes.

Add that cli feedback is a whole lot better than a gui client.

Having GUI doesn't disallow you from using CLI commands but does help with rendering the tree. The tree rendered in terminal looks awful and not very helpful.

Also, I find some actions to be faster and easier using GUI - for example reviewing and staging the changes.

So, I personally use both GUI (Fork) and git CLI.

I also use KDiff3 for resolving conflicts. Looks dated but works really well.
