I was looking at video reviews of git GUI clients. The best ones are pricey and we are two people occasionally editing some webpages for our business website. It’s hosted on GitLab Pages.

Can anyone recommend something straightforward? I’ll be sticking to the terminal but my colleague is new to code repositories.

Git GUI is free, but looks terrible IMO. Sublime have a nice one and it’s not subscription based, but is expensive. We are both on Mac usually.

Another alternative I considered was showing them the three terminal commands I use mainly (add, commit and push) and then let them edit from the file manager itself. But because they’ll be doing this so rarely, it might be easy to forget.

Edit: I’ve settled on a few to try out: sourcetree, fork, gitup and the one by Sublime. The conversation doesn’t have to end there, but thanks for the help. So many great answers here :)

    Sourcetree is pretty good. GitHub Desktop is cross-platform and pretty good. Visual Studio Code has a GUI for git management and it’s pretty good too. The last two are free, but idk about Sourcetree.

      Thanks. Just checked the Atlassian site and Sourcetree is a free download. I don’t see any mention of pricing either so it doesn’t seem to be a limited trial from what I can tell. Great!
