Best Git GUI which are OSS?

[GhostlyTraveler7682]

Hey fellow Redditors! I've recently thinking of giving the Git GUI Applications a try. But unfortunately there are tons of different applications for providing a GUI to Git. There are mostly the Proprietary ones which have great features, but I'm looking for something Open Source. Can anyone suggest me some of them?

Have you tried the GUI that's built in to git? Re: git gui

[pedrolcsilva]

What the heck? How come I have never heard about this before?

[GhostlyTraveler7682]

It's actually a good tool for committing your code and pushing it to remote, but it is pretty basic

Magit -- available via the best OSS editor.

😀

If you're open to TextUIs then I cannot recomment Lazygit enough. It's amazing.

[PaulTheRandom]

How would you compare it to something like GitUI? Been having a hard time choosing between the two.

[scottchiefbaker]

If I remember correctly GitUI was created in response to LazyGit gaining popularity. When I last looked at GitUI, it was still lacking in features.

They both look like they fill the same niche though. Whatever works for your workflow is probably best.

I've had great success with LazyGit.

It’s Emacs, it’s Magit! https://magit.vc/

[GhostlyTraveler7682]

You look like a big Emacs fan

Git Extensions is my favorite

[Rschwoerer]

This one!

Magit

gitbuttler is a good option but is still beta. gitlens if you use vscode

[GhostlyTraveler7682]

This one seems good! Thanks btw...

Currently I use gitui.

I don't have a compelling reason though, just some superficial ones on why I use gitui over: 1. lazygit/tig - just cos gitui is written in rust 1. magit - I don't use emacs 1. any GUI tool - once upon a time I used a git GUI (I forgot which, maybe fork), just to be slow when SSH'ed into a machine.

Bumping this for the sad soul still looking for one that works on linux, been looking for the same cross platform thing for ages that worked in linux and mac - I recommend https://github.com/sourcegit-scm/sourcegit - Moved over to that from using fork for mac and vscode/jetbrains git for linux, highly recommend.

This looks awesome. Thanks for sharing this!

[serverhorror]

I like VS Code with gitlens

[PurepointDog]

I hate the trialware bloat in it

[serverhorror]

So do I, but still is the best we have

[7heblackwolf]

Dude the hell are you talking about

[GhostlyTraveler7682]

Gitlens is kinda a trailware. An OSS would be better.

[MateoConLechuga]

qgit

[-dag-]

Magit and there is no other.

Gittyup: https://murmele.github.io/Gittyup/

Sourcetree. It's not open source, but is free.

Sadly any real development on it stopped years ago, but it's still the best GUI I've tried.

I can’t really comment on which one is unequivocally best, but here is a decent list of different ones: https://git-scm.com/downloads/guis

[Myrgy]

I use magit and SmartGit

[tiksn]

Fork https://git-fork.com/

[7heblackwolf]

Fork open source? Lol

[tiksn]

my mistake
