If you're on windows, GitExtensions is pretty awesome. (open source too). I made a donation to the author because that client saved me from a team mutiny after I introduced git on the command line.

I use both with git, nothing wrong with that. A GUI client for committing which allows me to better look at diffs and makes selecting files for staging easier, not having to do `git status` all the time; and the command line for everything else - pulls, merges, rebases, cherry picking etc etc.
git add --patch
git commit -v
The -v flag shows a diff of what will be committed in the editor.
The applicatino asks you to register with my email address for further "communications related to GitKraken or Axosoft". There is no way to skip this step, you have to provide an email address ––and pay attention to "OR"... No thanks, buddy. First thing I tried is dropping a git repo folder to the window, didn't work. When I click the open button I can see the Javascript animation glitching on my 'Early 2015 i5 2.7 G…
If you're on OS X I recommend gitup. Very fast and clean. Although if I remember correctly, it does ask for an email address.

GitHub Desktop[1] runs on both OS X and Windows. It works with non-GitHub git repositories too. [1] https://desktop.github.com/

I hate to be that guy, but you're paying $70 for that? What does that offer over, say SourceTree, Atlassian's free offering. From a quick glance, they look pretty similar to me.
Am I the only one who remembers when $70 was cheap for anything development related? Either it's good enough to save you 5-10 minutes a day where it's obviously worth $70 or it's not, and isn't worth any price (well maybe a dollar or two if you are, say, a collector of git clients).

SourceTree has hosed numerous co-workers repositories because they clicked the wrong option. I'm not a fan in the slightest.

SourceTree is a god awful nightmare of a UI and I have found myself having to triple check all the checkboxes present before I do anything lest I manage to hose it up. I would use absolutely no GUI if my option was that or SourceTree. I also hear the latest update has been a real punch to the gut for people as well. I branch and merge in moments at least a half dozen times a day in Tower. Getting to diffs, creating p…
So does SourceTree. Have you tried using it? If so, what issues have you found with it? Personally, I don't use it, so I can't speak to its functionality.
> I branch and merge in moments at least a half dozen times a day in Tower.
I do the same in SourceTree, and find it trivial, but perhaps it's just a usage difference. If you want to use Tower go for it -- I have no affiliation with Atlassian to push the product on you, I just enjoy it. I'm just surprised at how much Tower costs.
I personally never use GUI clients for git, the CLI does exactly what it's supposed to do, efficiently, quickly in a stable reproducible manner, most GUI clients are for people who just don't want to learn to use the CLI properly. But some tips for your project: 1-Lose the forced email registration 2-Easy on the Luxury, we're devs not divas 3-The beta agreement is just way too scary to take the product seriously, exa…

A simple google search for "How to use git without command line" will show you the amount of people who are looking for just that, I said most, not all, I believe git is a developer tool that's mostly used by dev who can navigate their way around CLI, lately i've seen and worked with non devs who want to just use GUI tools to help them around without having to know the details of what's going under the hood, this submission is a good example of that, it lacks every single tool that a developer that works in a big team with a big codebase needs. so yes, it's a tool for people who don't want to use the CLI properly. nothing arrogant at all.
>It's a beta. The T's & C's pretty much translate as "it's a beta". What do you want them to do, NOT release a beta? Fair enough if so, but a lot of software is released this way. And pretty much all FLOSS software excuses itself from any kind of warranty too.
This doesn't seem to be exactly a FLOSS per say, but I get your point, they're just doing it the wrong way, if you're gonna start something that you want to be on par with other tools, at least get out your beta with the same features, then add up on that post beta, but they're not doing that, they're releasing a GUI tool that has the basics of git, with videos and js animations. and if i'm going to even consider using that in a production environment I'd rather have a more serious T&C that will make me feel a bit safe that this thing will be supported and will live on for a few years ahead and not die, "It's just a beta" is something i'm really tired of hearing as an excuse to a crippled product, gmail was in beta for way to long and it was superior to all existing email solutions at the time, no one would've used it if it only supported sending and receiving emails, I wouldn't call his git client a beta either, it's more of an alpha experimental product IMHO.

I don't feel like $70 is very much for something that feeds my family. I use it all day every day and the work I do with it allows my wife to stay home with my kids. If people didn't pay me to build the software that _I_ build, this wouldn't be possible. It's the same reason I choose IntelliJ over Eclipse or other IDEs. If the price difference is justified by my effctiveness with your tool, I'm spending the money without hesitation.
The only caveat I have is, even if your product is the best, if your company is shifty or a bad actor- I'll do whatever I can to avoid it.

Thanks for pointing this out, I also couldn't figure out how to see a diff. I am not a fan of this layout. It makes it a bit difficult to get a feel for what the changes were in a quick glance.
I had a similar sense with the app. Despite the very slick UI, it just felt awkward and inconvenient in all sorts of little ways. I couldn't quite get at the info I wanted -- or couldn't do so fluidly. I couldn't quite do what I needed -- or couldn't do so fluidly. I gave up on it in under an hour, which is kinda record time for me. I gave SourceTree a couple days, GitX/GitY/etc each got multiple hours, etc.
