I'm still using GitX-dev[0], mostly for doing commits and visualizing branches. Although lately I've been committing directly from Visual Studio Code.

For more complex operations nothing beats the CLI.

I think that's only because most of the UIs are so bad! Manipulating a graph is something that I think inherently is actually quite visual.

GitUp[0] has excellent graph-editing facilities, and has replaced almost all of my git command-line machinations.

Alas, it's semi-abandoned and left in a perpetual state of 90% doneness...

A little challenge, if you're interested: Give some git manipulations you would do on the command line, and I will show you how to do it more easily in GitUp, or concede defeat. :-)

No takers? :-)

GitX still had one of the best visualisations. But it bugged so often I had to replace it with Fork https://fork.dev

+1 to Fork. It's really an amazing client that has a "freemium" model similar to Sublime (you don't _have_ to pay to use anything).

It's still actively developed and I love the Branch favoriting feature (which I haven't see in any other GUI).

Oh, I didn't know it. I'll try, and if it's good I'll gladly pay for it :)
