Hey there.!!🙋♂️ Are you looking for the top git GUI client to make it easy to manage your project? Then you are in right place..!!
First of all, ...

I’ve been using the built in git from vscode for a while now. If i’m not using vscode then I use Fork. Works really well and $49.99 is a lifetime license unlike Tower, and Git Kraken where you pay yearly for it.
You should really consider downloading gitlens. It doesn't replace existing vscode git, but expands upon it for when you want to diff a file or peruse through its history! Just select a file, then go to gitlens and you can see all the commits to it
I use gitlens.
Hi @chad ,
Thanks for sharing your inputs. Yes, fork is also one of the easiest and best GIT GUI clients. The only drawback its not available for Linux.
Stay Safe 🙏
"Fork" sounds awful, watch this to see a demo of its apparent disaster:

The only git GUI I've found useful is Magit.
Having to switch to a CLI is quick and easy, but having to switch to a different gui app (when I'm already using an IDE) just slows me down.
Also, having to take my hands off the keyboard and use a mouse slows me down.
Never forget to mention Magit, the today best Git client without contest.
But for Emacs users only. I think you omit this information ;)
Thank you very much for your suggestion.👍 We'll add it to the list.
No Love for Sublime Merge?
FYI: Sublime Merge is a git gui client made by the creators of Sublime. Not to be confused with SubliMerge which is a 3rd party professional merge tool implemented as a Sublime plugin.
Sublime Merge + CLI + IntelliJ/PyCharm/GoLand integration are my tools of choice.
I don't need a ui bad enough to warrant the cost of GitKraken, but it sure does look slick!
I wasn't aware of all of the ui's listed here, and I'll definitely look into some of them.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your feedback and inputs.🙂 We'll add it to the list.👍
I’ve tried a few of these & you’re missing probably one of the best GUI out there for both windows & Mac: GitTower git-tower.com
Hands down the simplest & nicest client I’ve used out of a bunch of the ones listed above 👌🏽
Yes, we are adding it. Thank You for your feedback.👍
I like GitExtensions
Git Extensions is where it's at for me.
I've been using this client for many years now and still love it. It's intuitive, clean, robust, and free. A real pleasure to work with.

I've been using Fork for a while now and like it very much.
Yes, Fork is indeed the best git GUI client.👍
We mostly use SourceTree at work, but trying to look for a replacement as there's not one day without an issue with it.
Tried to use GitKraken as a trial, but you need the paid account to work with private repos (ours are all private).
I would recommend trying SmartGit, 30 days trial period. It doesn't look sexy but can be very helpful. I switched from SourceTree recently.
For me, the best Git GUI is the one that comes with git! I.e. gitk.
I've tried several of mentioned clients. Pretty much the same until I had problems with merging branches, some files were renamed in one branch. Worst client for this scenario was SourceTree, best experience for me has SmartGit + KDiff3. Ine the end I've switched to SmartGit.
I have been using GitExtensions for years now. Open source, multi-platform, portable... I love it. Only thing lacking (today) is a multi-repo view, tabbed repos, if you want.

The best client is the Intellij Idea's built-in client.
I have tried most of them and still preferer Gitkraken .
Great pick..!!👍
Been using Fork from day 1 and absolutely love it. Developer is super easy to get a hold of regarding features and bugs.
Absolutely..!! 👍
Best git GUI editor for developers: none.
I am a fan of Gitkraken too, however I found myself going more and more to the git cli, no plugins.
I use the vs code /atom integration when I want to see the changes in an editor or cherrypick
Thank you for your inputs on Gitkraken.It is getting better with time. In the end, It mostly depends on developers some may like Smartgit some may not.
which tool is the best to use in 2023 ?
