I have been using atlassian sourcetree for quite a while. It has very similar look and feel :) https://www.atlassian.com/software/sourcetree
Yeah, I had to do a double take because it's almost screen for screen the UI of sourcetree.

#12I wish someone would maintain a list of all current (and past, abandoned) Git UIs, including a feature grid. This would both help the community using them, and help people who think "oh, I'll write a Git UI!".

#13Yet another Git GUI front end :-)
The homebrew version of the Git is bundled with two Git GUI frontends called gitk (invoked with `gitk`) and git-ui (invoked with `git gui`)

All of the ones I'm aware of are either cross platform (i.e. the user experience on single platforms is less than ideal) or closed source.

#15What's an argument for switching from Sourcetree? I recently tried Git's own Mac client and was running back to Sourcetree within a few minutes...

All of the Mac Git clients pretty much look the same, though.

#17i have been using GitBox (http://gitboxapp.com) for quite awhile now, but it seems like it doesn't get much in the way of updates, so i tried this.
Very first thing it does is write a file called "gitclient.log" to my home directory. i deleted it, and it came back the next time i started the app. I see nothing in the prefs that allows you to move the file somewhere else.
call me picky, but this is is a deal-breaker for me. nothing gets to write files to the root of my home directory. Right into the trash.

I sort of wondered about that thinking maybe there's only one logical way to design a git GUI on osx, but then even within this thread people brought up a few other examples that look totally different:
But I do agree there are lots of very similar UIs for various git GUIs. And I'm sure SourceTree borrowed lots of their layout from others as well.

#19If it doesn't include interactive rebase, it's not worth the cash because I'll have to go back to the CLI before I merge anything.
EDIT: Fork looks wonderful, I didn't mean to be so cold—just pointing out that it's hard to write a replacement for the original tool, and that I value it when it happens. I believe Sourcetree supports it.

Anyone know is there are advantages of Fork over SourceTree?
