Fork is the only GUI in Mac performant enough to handle my work monorepo. That alone would be sufficient, but it's also a stellar client with great support for things like interactively rebasing and handling merges. I can do roughly everything I need, faster, in its UI.

I'd love to know why Fork is so much faster than every other git GUI client I've used.

The fastest gui client I know of is gitup (gitup.co). Have you tried it? How does it compare to Fork?

I've found Fork to be faster than Gitup for very large repos. I used to use Gitup exclusively but switched to Fork a few years back. The graph drawing in Gitup can get bogged down when you have hundreds of branches. I still love that representation of branches but I'm usually not that confused about the repo state and I've found the vertical layout that Fork uses to be sufficient.
