    Visual Studio. It works fine for me.

      The only git I have ever had any dealings with was a snivelling little one.

        You might try Free Git GUI Client - Windows, Mac, Linux | GitKraken[^]

          I use SourceTree as it supports all Git commands that I know of in an intuitive enough interface. I like that I can have multiple Git repositories open in tab pages at the same time and that I can categorize all my repositories in folders. For some small projects or ad-hoc stuff I also use Visual Studio, sometimes next to SourceTree. Especially blaming and seeing the history of a file works well in Visual Studio. I also sometimes use Visual Studio to connect to Azure DevOps repositories, only to manage them using SourceTree once they're cloned to my machine. I've used the GitHub GUI for GitHub projects, but I'm not a fan. The SourceTree / Visual Studio combo works great for me :thumbsup:

            That title's a bit misleading as it's only free for open source. I mean, it's not very expensive[^], but there are actual free alternatives that work really well too. That said, I've used GitKraken in the past and it's pretty sweet.

              I've used the Github GUI as well as Visual Studio. VS has been the primary for the last year or so, and it's worked well.

                I usually work with visual studio code but I'm afraid that doesn't fall under Git UI but more bash. On the contrary, GitHub Desktop serves the purpose quite well.

                  TortoiseGit with WinMerge for diffing. Started using it from the time of TortoiseCVS and never changed. Love to see the stuff I forgot to commit by just opening File Explorer.

                      I learned using source tree, but have switched over to doing most everything except conflict resolution using the command line tools. For that, I like VSCode the best, over any of the side by side diff tools that I've used. I also prefer rebasing over merging whenever I can, but that's a team decision.

                        I've only ever used the GitHub Desktop UI. It's simple and easy to use for the most common git tasks and for the hard ones it can start up a git shell. Personally I just use a shell now though. Not because the GUI is bad or anything, but I was responsible for the repo on a project and found myself mostly in the shell so I'm just used to it now.

                          tortoise, mostly because I used it for SubVersion. I installed/tried/uninstall many git tools. We started using Azure DevOps, so I will try the integrated VS tools

                            I happily pay for the individual license of GitKraken and with the features added in version 7 it is better than ever. You can link your Issue Tracker to Kraken and update stories from inside Kraken, create branches based off the story name, even create stories inside the tool.

                              Sourcetree. It has the Git flow workflow which we use.

                                    Visual Studio is not the best UI, but it is the one that best integrates code editing with Git version control.

                                      Visual Studio Code's Git Lens is useful as well.
