I still think git-cola is one of my favourite Git Ui's. Anyone know any other good ones?
GitKraken is the best GitUI I've ever used. I highly recommend it. I use it for personal projects and at work. Professional License is really reasonable.
Builds the entire business model on top of git, a tool that Torvalds built to maintain Linux but don't give a fuck to Linux users.
They've gone to all the trouble of building an app using web technologies, but don't offer a Linux version? I develop on Linux because I deploy on Linux. I don't need a virtual assistant or animated emojis. I would quite like a nice Git UI however.

Let me fix the marketing for you: GitHub desktop is designed for our non Linux users. We felt like you weren't comfortable with a command line so we targeted you. Minimum system requirements quad core CPU and 32GB of ram.
Making Git more accessible to non-developers (or people not comfortable with a command line) isn't some horrible thing like you're making it out to be.
Also if someone is a developer, they're only hurting themselves by not making an effort to get comfortable with the command line. Like half of my workflow wouldn't be possible without a familiarity with it.

Out of curiosity I've downloaded the app and tried it, because everyone seemed to hate it. Bloated, slow, eats RAM like crazy they said. Everybody says it so it must be true, right? No. I was expecting a disaster and instead I got a nice little Git client (not really feature packed, but the advertised features worked as expected). It starts quite quickly (compared to GitKraken for instance which takes ~10 seconds on…

It took a little getting used to, but the new version is much smoother and faster.
Two additions I would love to see ported over from github.com
* A toggle between inline and split diffs * A summary view with all changes on the current branch, not just per file changes
the new client is actually much faster for me, it starts up faster (1.5s to show the gui fully loaded vs 4s to show the gui and another 3s to finish loading what's on the screen) and there's no lag when using it (unlike with the old client)
i also prefer the new ui, i find it to be clearer than the old one
I really like the old version better. I really dislike this "cross platform" crap that runs terrible. It's like using a javascript app. Not only that, they don't even have it for Linux, so what's the point of doing a cross platform interface...
Yeah, I'll be sticking to the old Mac desktop app too. Visual bugs with the commit timeline notwithstanding, it's solid and smooth. The electron replacement is comparatively janky. If they ever EoL the old true native Github Desktop, I'll probably switch full time to Fork, which is native Cocoa and generally great. I already use it a lot, but there are times when Github Desktop does things a little better. https://gi…
I've been using either the command line or GitKraken, but it's always nice to see a new tool :)
