Do you use some GUI, TUI, terminal commands, plugins for other software?

Ideally, I want to find a cross-platform GUI app, preferably a FOSS one, and with as less overhead as possible, e.g. no Electron.

git gud :P

I use the CLI mostly.
It gives me confidence that I am not doing something unknowingly.

In some cases, I prefer GUI tools:

  • For blame, I prefer what Qt Creator provides
    • Although it could have been better
  • For graph, the default CLI one is not pretty enough and honestly doesn't help as a graph. So I go with GUI stuff
    • there are quite a few alternatives available that make it much faster to grasp on sight
