I've had this through Github Student for a while now and convinced the guys at work to use the free version for day-to-day use.

Pros:

  • Pull non-checked out branches (IntelliJ's git won't let me do that which sucks when rebasing)
  • THE COLORS -- So easy to visualize where things live
  • Bolds pull requests assigned to you (and you can double click it to check out the relevant branch)

Cons:

  • I can't live down the time I was setting it up and deleted develop over Christmas because there's a subtle but important difference between "Are you sure you want to delete develop?" and "Are you sure you want to delete origin/develop?"
