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.

I have some handy aliases so I use CLI most of the time. And on my gaming keyboard I have the side macro keys set to:

git status
git diff
git add .
git commit - m """ (with the cursor left into between quotes)
git commit -am ""

For merge conflicts I'll use whatever the IDE provides.
