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'd rather be phishing!

You might try Free Git GUI Client - Windows, Mac, Linux | GitKraken[^]
I'm not sure how many cookies it makes to be happy, but so far it's not 27. JaxCoder.com
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.

Git Extensions - but I only use Git on home projects.

Visual Studio. It works fine for me.

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.

Exactly the same here, a great implantation and so easy to use.

I have used many a git client but for the last year have been using fork Fork - a fast and friendly git client for Mac and Windows[^]. You have to pay for it these days but it’s well worth it in my opinion.

Visual Studio is not the best UI, but it is the one that best integrates code editing with Git version control.
Sorry for my bad English
It does the job, and it stays out of the way. What more do I want? :laugh:

Not a UI, but a user interface all right: gitless.com I suggest checking it out, I'm not fully versed in it (yet), but so far, it seems like it greatly simplifies common uses cases. Running it on Windows through WSL.

I use the cli that comes with my distro. On the rare occasion I work on our one and only Windows product, I use git bash.

Same here. It's so easy to use and the icons in file explorer show you the state. But there is (or was) a limitation on the number of modified icons that Windows could handle. A really small number like 16 or so. Installing another package first which also modifies the icons, you might not see the advantage of the icons, because they are listed but not shown when exceeding the limit. No error message either. Unfortunately I don't remember which version of Windows had this restriction.

A mix of command-line & [GitKraken](https://www.gitkraken.com/). I'm not averse to [Fork](https://git-fork.com/) either - especially for those repos I have that are very large (they have 15 years or history, having been migrated from SourceSafe through Subversion and Mercurial to (now) Git). Why migrate from Mercurial to Git? To take advantage of Azure DevOps availability in our (large) company rather than having to maintain a Mercurial server... And also because the writing on the wall is writ large at this point...

Bash is by far the most straightforward interface. For visualization of branches, source tree does a fine job. Bash can be very fast though, especially if you use aliases to shortcut common commands. Shells are interfaces for users in case anyone is confused by my response. GUIs are a specialization of UIs also 😏
