I can't imagine using a paid, closed-source git client when https://github.com/desktop/desktop and https://github.com/Murmele/Gittyup are both great. Maybe 10 years ago, but not now that open-source alternatives are so mature and feature-rich.

#12I use it along with Secretive[0] to keep GitHub SSH keys in my MacBook’s Secure Enclave and add a biometric prompt whenever pushing or pulling. All together it’s extremely smooth and unfussy.

#14I usually recommend SourceTree to them, not because it's particularly amazing, but it does enough while not breaking repos (as often).

#17This looks neat, but I don’t see anything off hand that will pull me away from my current git tower + kaleidoscope ~rut~ workflow. In particular, the drag & drop rebase support in tower is very convenient. Kaleidoscope is capable of all kinds of diffing but the text conflict resolution is probably the feature that I use the most.
I used to use tower, but I switched to fork for two reasons - it was more performant with my work monorepo, and fork's a one time payment and tower's an annual subscription (and more expensive). I'm not affiliated with them at all but I'm a happy customer and recommend you give it a shot; they have a free trial.

#18Fork, aka the footgun git UI that repeatedly causes me to lose productive time to help junior devs unmangle their local repos. I usually recommend SourceTree to them, not because it's particularly amazing, but it does enough while not breaking repos (as often).

#20These pulled me away from Sourcetree, but my experience with Fork is limited to early versions (ca. 2016/17).
