Your preferred Git UI (if any)?
-
Visual Studio. It works fine for me.

+1. Though I have a caveat: I wasn't doing sophisticated things: create a branch for my change, create pull requests when done, all of which were extremely well documented. Not sure if they people who actually did the builds and so on thought VS was good. Since moving to git was their idea, I'm assuming they had a handle on the more sophisticated bits.

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:

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.
Even Windows 10 only support 15 overlay icons. See also cito.github.io/blog/overlay-icon-battle/.

I'm confused. Git is version control, Git UI is a client or integration into an IDE?

Visual Studio (in Windows) or the command line (in Linux, or for complex stuff in Windows).

I avoid doing "complex stuff" in Git. I almost always turns out doing something that I never intended it to do!

I've tried a number of Git GUIs, but I ended up using Fork. Simple, cheap and regular updates.

Be glad you aren't required to use Visual Studio 2012 like my team. Its git plugin has some quirks!

It could be either. I currently use the built in VS plug-in. /ravi

Our team used to mainly use SourceTree (SourceTreeApp.com) but have recently moved over to Fork (git-fork.com). Fork has recently started popping up a dialog asking to pay for a $49.99 license, but the evaluation seemed to not be limited by a number of days. Depending on how this plays out we may switch back to SourceTree as there are not many feature differences (except SourceTree kept having random updates that would crash the app periodically).

Yeah, finally caught on.
