As someone pretty comfortable with got on the command line, what advantages would a GUI give me? I’m not trolling, it’s an honest question. Anyone with good got command line skills move to something like this and find it offers them a better workflow?
- Staging/unstaging/dropping hunks or specific lines within a modified file
- Interactive rebase is simpler and clearer

I used to use the one from atlassian, but they made it so difficult to use it, and also I think they started charging for it. I also downloaded kraken, but found it very heavy and intrusive.
Nothing beats using the terminal (except for selective commits)

I can answer one of your questions: "This agreement shall be governed by the laws of Czeck Republic. If any portion of this Agreement is deemed unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, it shall not affect the forcibility of the other portions of this Agreement." Though, this license is pretty much radioactive for me: "You will not, and will not permit others to reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, der…
> laws of Czeck Republic lol they even have the country spelled wrong...
This comment isn't worth of HN, (critical, "lol", "...".) Instead, why not focus on something positive?

> Looks nice and clean, although useless for me as a Linux user. That's why Electron GUIs are good. People say they are bloated, but at least the program is available for Linux as well.
So we’re all forced to use shit apps? No thanks. I imagine the number of Linux desktop using developers who use git and want a git GUI is numbering in the hundreds, worldwide.
So like 50% of total Linux desktop users? Haha, just kidding. I, for myself, use tig and git command line and I'm pretty happy with it.
The whole, if the product is free you are the product etc. So, how is this free? It really does look amazing, which is probably why I wonder how it can be free.
The license prohibits all kinds of things so I am not comfortable using it: https://fork.dev/license Specifically, it says: * "You will not use this Software to engage in or allow others to engage in any illegal activity.": Which jurisdiction? how far do I have to go to prevent illegal activity? * "You will not engage in using this Software that will interfere with or damage the operation of the services of any third…
I don't really understand the upside for them to include such toothless yet threatening clauses. It makes them seem a bit juvenile. Like when we had to come up with laws for our make-believe countries for a class project in middle school and we tried to cover our bases with rules like "if you're a bad person doing all bad stuff, you're not allowed to!"
It's also apparently one individual, and non-US. I've seen many clauses like that in European, especially eastern European, software. Sometimes, even in countries like Australia. It's inspecific, but seems pretty clear they're trying to say, "don't use our software for something you shouldn't." They're within their rights to desire that.
Would you perhaps want to edit your comment to remove the rather patronising comments about "like... laws for our make-believe countries", "middle school", etc?
It looks like it's a WPF app on Windows and a Cocoa app (via Xamarin.Mac) on macOS. It feels good to not try something based on Electron for once.

Some GUIs are insanely good for tasks that may be complex through CLI.
GitUp, for instance, allows you to instantly rearrange, squash and split your commits (mostly through keyboard shortcuts). It also has unlimited undo/redo even for complex actions such as merges and rebases.
On the plus side I find Fork to be performant and clean. I prefer it over Kraken and Tower and I find it vastly better than SourceTree. I also find it somewhat similar to GitX-dev on the Mac, which is a good thing. On the minus side (and it's a big minus), it's not open source. As a developer of commercial software I basically have to trust the Fork developers not to do anything fishy with all the source code / IP th…

Aren't all the other ones you mention closed source as well? Like Kraken and SourceTree for sure.
Fork is made by one person.
Not making any assumptions here, but if you're evaluating risks around compromises in one of the two products, I think Fork is higher risk.
