For an open source alternative, remember there's also the forked version of GitX: https://rowanj.github.io/gitx/
I'm surprised no one has mentioned GitKraken yet (gitkraken.com). Cross-platform and beautiful. Edit: oh and free!
Is there a way to only view commits that belong in the current branch (like git log)? The commits from the other branches are distracting when you're trying to read the history of a particular branch.

Hi. Didn't even think about such a requirement. In next version I'll make credentials optional (with a warning though).
People shouldn't use git without having configured that. It would prevent incorrect commits landing in public repositories. Actually git defaults to some made-up local git author if it's not set, and that's less useful and sometimes invalid, provoking git-fsck errors.

Because when you're doing anything outside of git commit am- "whatever" it's nice to be able to see the complete implications of your actions, what files have been modified, what lines in those files have changed, etc.,

When you use a git GUI some console actions can be made easier: - I can stage/unstage/reset my changes line-by-line - I can observe the whole repository structure as it was at the moment of commit - Gui client automatically keeps my submodules in the valid state so I don't need to check their state after each checkout - I can quickly review the whole repo history (sometimes it can be useful when I am involved in a ne…

I already got that question today. So, I'll just repost my answer: here are some differences from the top of the head: * Fork has tabbed interface * For each commit you can see not only changes, but also the whole repository as it was at the moment of commit * Diff viewer shows exact difference between two pieces of code. For example, here are both SourceTree and Fork showing the same commit: https://dl.dropboxuserco…
SourceTree has a tabbed interface as well now. The diff viewer might be interesting if it's really good but I think that to require an external viewer where the company focused on that as a product. On Mac most of the good options are paid though, might help you.
I haven't seen a single interface that gets it right. JetBrains' integration in their IDEs is the closest to "mostly usable" I've seen, where branch creation, pulls, merges, conflict resolution, and pushes are fairly straightforward. It's still far from perfect - I do the lower-level Git > Pull rather than using the Update Project window because I have no idea what operations that window performs; and some rare operations still require dropping to command-line. I'd rate their implementation a 7/10 compared to the 3/10 other tools like Sourcetree provide.
A huge reason JetBrains has an insurmountable lead is its diff and merge editor. It is the best on the market, and the only usable side-by-side merge tool I can work with. Their 3-way diff is a dream to use. The last time I had to assist a co-worker merge a conflict using WinMerge on Windows, I gave up after 30 minutes. I flat out could not understand what the differences were, let alone figure out how to resolve the conflicts. Went back to my desk, checked out the branch in JetBrains' PhpStorm, performed the same merge, and had the conflicts resolved in a couple of minutes. It's no surprise to me that people using WinMerge erase work done by other people far too often.
Anti-disclaimer: not affiliated in any way with JetBrains. Their IDEs are mostly amazing, though it's frustrating that they focus 95%+ of their efforts on new features without going back and fixing what is wrong with their existing features. Their diff/merge editor, at least, is unmatched by any other product I have seen to date (other than the fact that CMD+F / CTRL+F to find in the diff editor is broken... again, JetBrains has some serious bugs that never get fixed).
This looks sweet! I use git quite lightly right now as I'm currently the only developer on my project. Gitup.co is the benchmark of Git apps for me right now. I barely need anything more than it and it's so incredibly light feeling. Like the app goes out of the way so that I can do what I need, such as reviewing lines to be staged. It hasn't been receiving many updates unfortunately. I'm happy that another app has po…
Another gitup user here. What kind of updates were you hoping for? Seems pretty solid to me.
