I'd rather use Fork than deal with git's terrible UI.

It's free in the same sense as sublime text (you're free to "evaluate" it with all features for free as long as you want, then pay when you want).

But it's only macos and windows.

I’ve helped people with Fork before, in so much as I helped them do relatively simple things in the Git CLI that were buried in an unknown menu in Fork.

I think it’s really cool that we gave more consistent - arguably more intuitive - interfaces to interact with Git, including in IDEs, but there’s something to be said for the consistent and unambiguous nature of the command line.

So even if this can actually be easier in some specific tool, I find it’s useful to have an idea of how to do this the old way too.
