Fork.dev on Windows and Mac

• GUI using native APIs, no electron
• It's free the same way that sublime text and winzip are. It asks about once a month if you want to pay and you can keep clicking "I'm still trying it out".
• Normal git cli is powerful but with a terrible UI with terrible defaults.
  • To use the best commands you need to add a ton of flags to get what you want, or add a whole bunch of aliases and port them between machines.
    • e.g. git log vs git log --graph --all --remotes --decorate
    • e.g. git fetch vs git fetch --prune --all
    • e.g. git stage -p vs nothing (git cli still doesn't have a good way to specify lines correctly, only hunks that can't be split properly)

Fork.dev is just what you get when the defaults are set up correctly by default, with more powerful control over staging, and with automatic branch/stash backups whenever your doing risky actions.

The only thing it doesn't have built in support for is git log -S for when you're searching for a specific file or commit and don't know the file or commit, but know a substring in the commit itself. But it doesn't matter since you can add that as a custom command into fork.dev
