<![CDATA[Git utility ?]]>I goofed recently and lost some work.
I'm generally comfortable with command line but only basic git skills.
I'm thinking that a Git GUI utility might be useful for speed/idiocy prevention.
Been looking at some options.
Do you use a Git utility ? With GUI ? Which ?

GitHub Desktop didn't gel for me (don't really know why).

Update for anyone else sitting on the fence : try VSCode !
Works really nicely, easy integrated environment, relatively low learning curve.
Certainly suits me as a relative beginner.

But maybe I should, and maybe I should use vscode more. It's quite impressive ๐Ÿ‘

It has a built in git UI for managing repos. If you open a folder that was clone in git, downloaded from git, etc you can manage with vscode.

Also, might wanna take a look at https://git-scm.com/downloads/guis/

git command line is really easy, and a gui can make it better.

for strictly cli, I recommend to beginners to read https://rogerdudler.github.io/git-guide/ it's a simple, easy to read guide on using git.

Good luck

And I paid for it, so I want to use it! Also, it is sort of barebones compared to GD, all I do is pull, commit, push on my projects, so the extra GUI busyness didn't help.

I use GitHub Desktop to manage the projects and cloning without grabbing the URL, but Command-line for everything else.

Is it not so performant ? Problems ?

Git GUI utility

On Windows I use Github Desktop. On Mac I use GitBox. On Ubuntu, I just hope for the best!
