What Git clients do you use? (feddit.nl)

I'm wondering if you use any (graphical) clients to manage your Git, and if so, what client you use.

I myself have to use git professionally across all 3 major OS-es, and I currently use Sourcetree on Windows and macOS, and the Git tools built-in into IntelliJ on Linux.

Have given MaGit a try, but just couldn't get all the shortcuts to stick in my mind.

Interested to hear your experiences!

    Same, because its UX is actually really good. Years ago when I was new to git, I tried to use Sourcetree to revert a merge commit, and it would just fail. When I tried it in the CLI, it still failed, but it told me how to fix it. (I needed to specify which parent)

    That, plus it’s scriptable, plus I’m in the terminal a lot anyway. I’ll also use the IDE git client sometimes if that’s where I am at the moment.
