      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 ?

        @timconsidine said in Git utility ?:

        Git GUI utility

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

          @scooke why not Github Desktop on Mac ?
          Is it not so performant ? Problems ?

            For me itโ€™s either the git cli directly, or git lens in vs code. Although the latter feels more technical, than the cli.

              @timconsidine GitHub Desktop's always worked for me on Mac, if you don't mind the very frequent updates & app restarts.

                GitKraken is a good choice as well. I use GitHub Desktop to manage the projects and cloning without grabbing the URL, but Command-line for everything else.

                  @timconsidine Gitbox was out before GDesktop, mostly. 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.

                    We use GitKraken for vscode, or IntelliJ/GoLand integrated git.

                      @timconsidine Do you use vs code? 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

                        @murgero only used vscode for a flutter project which is not yet in git repo. But maybe I should, and maybe I should use vscode more. It's quite impressive ๐Ÿ‘

                          @murgero : I tried VSCode a bit more, and tried Sourcetree.
                          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.
