Is anyone here using a GUI for git? If yes - which one and why? (szmer.info)

I ask because I like console, but at the same time have difficulties remembering all the commands. I'd like to try a GUI that is comfortable to use with only a keyboard.

My inbox got fediversized, fantastic feeling.

Magit with emacs (doom emacs to be fully honest). More a TUI, but definitely fully keyboard driven :)

Yeah this is THE best interface for git. Worth getting into Emacs just to use it id say.

Same here. I don't even use emacs for development anymore (I use IntelliJ since all my work is on the JVM and Typescript) but I still have an emacs running in the background for magit and org-mode. Magit is insanely effective for performing complex rebasing and cherry-picking tasks.

Magit on Spacemacs for me. Absolutely brilliant tool. https://magit.vc/

Magit with vanilla emacs, here. Yup.

Though 9/10 times I find myself using CLI directly. Habit.
