I--for one--love a GUI. Especially for git. I also love a good pun, so I'm definitely going to try this! It's gonna be tough to beat VS-Code and Kraken though.

GitKraken has been a godsend, I have been really spoiled by it. Managing big repositories has become a breeze thanks to the visualization techniques it uses. If only the company behind it weren't so questionable about their privacy and monetization policies. I am still on the fence on the product.

What issues are there with the privacy policies? Did I miss something?

The founder has some controversial views on how to develop the product, this includes more cloud integration.

On top of that GitKraken is closed-source and in the past there were concerns on telemetry collection: https://old.reddit.com/r/git/comments/4dgpgd/gitkraken_data_...

Nothing major, which is why I am still using it, but definitely enough to make you wary.
