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

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.

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.

A mix of command-line & GitKraken. I'm not averse to Fork 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...

Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

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.

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 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.

Visual studio. It is as simple as possible ( for git ). Relatively intuitive, well integrated, good Ui, and I don’t have to worry about “losing” files.

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

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

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

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).

Seeing the discussion about poetry and code inspired me to compose this. My native language is not English, so please pardon me for 'bugs' in this poem.

New job

After working remotely for the first 10 weeks during the UK lockdown, I was furloughed in June. I was told it would only be for a few weeks, but as a precaution I updated my CV and started to see what else was out there. I later heard that my furlough would be at least another month. I decided to look for a new role in earnest at this point. My employer work in the car fleet sector and have been hard hit by the economic downturn (with fewer people driving to work and using cars generally).

So I interviewed for a few roles, and one of them seemed a really good match for my skills and they had a forward thinking and positive attitude. They made me an offer and I start September 1st. In the meantime I've already handed in my notice with my current employer and in the process of handing over my work to the rest of the team (they've taken me off furlough for this).

The interview process was completely different. There was no face-to-face. It was a telephone interview followed by an MS Teams interview a week later involving several people from the company joining the call at different times.

I'm excited at the new challenges that lie ahead Smile | :)
