What Git clients do you use? (self.programming)

I'm wondering if you use any (graphical) clients to manage your Git, and if so, what client you use.

I myself have to use git professionally across all 3 major OS-es, and I currently use Sourcetree on Windows and macOS, and the Git tools built-in into IntelliJ on Linux.

Have given MaGit a try, but just couldn't get all the shortcuts to stick in my mind.

Interested to hear your experiences!

Fork on windows, SourceGit on Linux, both have a similar UI layout to SourceTree, but are much faster/snappier.

I really like having a clear overview of the commit history, branches and current local state. I haven't figured out yet how to get such an "at a glance" overview in the CLI.

For advanced stuff the CLI is still very convenient.

Have to take a look at Fork (annoying name to Google I image). Sourcetree can be quite sluggish and downright annoying on macOS.

Ditto on the CLI having its pro's and cons

Fork is the best as far as GUI goes, but you can't use a search engine to find any support information.
