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 :)
I know OP is on Mac, but for anyone needing a git GUI on Windows, TortoiseGit is probably the best you’ll find. Integrates right into File Explorer, turns nearly every command into a form, every flag and parameter into a field, and it even shows you the command you end up running. Very powerful, and doesn’t do anything non-standard (looking at you Github). It’s actually taught me more about git than just reading the manual ever did.
