    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.

            Visual Studio. It works fine for me.

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

                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 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.

                      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.

                        Same here. I added Control TortoiseGit from within Visual Studio[^] to access it fast.

                          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.

                            Yep, by far the most logical and intuitive combination. I have used multiple others and they do not even come close.

                              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 😏

                                    I prefer to use Visual Studio 2019 as my Git UI and Git Bash for whatever I can't do in the main VS IDE. I like to keep it simple.

                                        I too use TortoiseGit (also Visual Studio), but for merging I've never found anything better than [Beyond Compare](https://www.scootersoftware.com/).

                                          I originally used SourceTree, since it is free, then I fell in love with GitKraken. However, I still use SourceTree when doing comparisons between branches or line by line commits. SourceTree's interface is better for complex procedures.

                                          Regards, Thomas Stockwell
