Personally, GitExtensions... github desktop is a pile of turds but git CLI introduces unnecessary stress precisely when I don't want it.

[–] SketchySeaBeast@lemmy.ca 5 points 11 months ago

Yup. I don't care if my workflow is suboptimally slow, I can easily see exactly I'm doing with git extensions.

Why are they even on the same bus?

I really like Sourcetree, been using that for a long time.

Source tree has always been horribly optimized to point of uselessness. Wonder if it’s still shit

Ohmyzsh with the git plugin is my fave - gaa & gcmsg "a commit" feels like the right level of verbosity for me.

The GitHub CLI is magic.

Well one runs on Linux and the other doesn't so....

Fork is much better than GitHub Desktop, you can use it without paying indefinitely

For something with such an horrible interface, it's amazing how often people that create a new interface for it manage to make it worse.

CLI because linux

[–] eluvatar@programming.dev 4 points 11 months ago

I only use it to clone projects via the Open in GitHub desktop link.

Uh how do i get GH cli to work on Linux? I tried pushing a project and it just asks for a password, and PW support is deprecated

Gitgui is pretty great too if you need a bit of interactivity. It's bare bones and no bullshit but can still do like 90% of what all the other fancy tools can do.

[–] pkill@programming.dev 3 points 11 months ago

gitui
