Personally, GitExtensions... github desktop is a pile of turds but git CLI introduces unnecessary stress precisely when I don't want it.

Yup. I don't care if my workflow is suboptimally slow, I can easily see exactly I'm doing with git extensions.

GitLens?

GitHub Desktop is literally "Baby's first git GUI".

I really like Sourcetree, been using that for a long time.

Source tree has always been horribly optimized to point of uselessness. Wonder if it’s still shit

I only use it to clone projects via the Open in GitHub desktop link.

CLI because linux

For something with such an horrible interface, it's amazing how often people that create a new interface for it manage to make it worse.

Well one runs on Linux and the other doesn't so....

Ohmyzsh with the git plugin is my fave - gaa & gcmsg "a commit" feels like the right level of verbosity for me.

Gitlab/Azure Repo

Fork is much better than GitHub Desktop, you can use it without paying indefinitely

The GitHub CLI is magic.
