I'm looking for a graphical Git client. What's the best one in <current year>?
sourcetree
Why?
it works
The only correct way to interact with git
git is designed to be used in the CLI, Only macocos use a GUI for git.
magit
/usr/bin/git
VSCode
Emacs+Magit of course.
I would recommend you understanding command line git but if you really need to go for gitKraken
git
Is it really as good as people say? What's so special about it?
It's very comfy. Quick keybinds, simple but descriptive menu, improvements over many git commands (I suppose that goes for many interfaces for git; one Magit command is often a chain of git commands). Interactive merges, rebases, selective staging - I wouldn't be surprised if other clients had it as well. But Magit simply makes it maximum comfy, right there in your editor. Oh right, the interface in Magit is just about perfect. If you know what you need to press, you just press it. If you're wondering what you need to press, you get these pop-up menus with short descriptions. If you need to know more, you're just one keypress away from more detailed help. Well, the detailed help often didn't help me much because it seems to assume detailed knowledge of git and explains the functionality in terms of git operations. It's very beginner friendly but doesn't get in the way of knowledgeable users at all. It presents exactly the information it should present.
Magit but it comes with Emacs preinstalled
+1 for sourcetree. Easy to understand, nice looking interface, works almost out of the box. I use it daily
there are too many women in that pic
all these suggestions
Mythical Man Month shows only so many developers can productively contribute to a project. Count the men in that pic and add about a quarter of the women. That's how ,any people are necessary to make github what it is today. When a company gets profitable, they can indulge in hiring practices that, while redundant, do add a certain trendy varnish to their social image. That would be the other 3/4 of the women in the pic. The trick is to keep their wrothlessness from affecting the main product. It's a deliate balancing act and some companies are better at this than others.

really makes you think
