*Installs SourceTree*
*Tries to use SourceTree*
*Opens terminal*
*Uninstalls SourceTree*

My exact sequence of steps. Maybe I'm so used to the simplicity of the IntelliJ IDEA git workflow.

It is more difficult to learn how to use a proprietary software than to learn few simple commands.
Why people don't understand this is still a mystery to me.

Try gitKraken.
I still do stuff on the terminal when I forget to open it though.

But sometimes, you just want to gui, y'know what I mean?

@mundo03 amen! Besides, staging only a few lines of code is so much easier there

@ejmin Some people think verbally and love terminal commands, others (like me) think visually and prefer GUIs.

I use SourceTree to select what to add to a partial commit, and to check logs and blames. But anything else goes through command line.

Yeah i dont like SourceTree. GitKraken is good for simple stuff like pull/commit/push but I always find myself going back to the terminal for more complex operations like cherrypicking and rebase etc.

Just tried SourceTree in response to this post. Tried an interactive rebase, it failed, unable to find an editor. Always works in git bash. Oh, and the console output was in NON-monospace. WTF? Really?

I don't know if this is a common problem in Source Tree or if it was just a problem on my computer but every time I was changing trough my commits Source Tree needed at least 10 minutes before it would work and respond again. Now I'm using GitKraken and everything works fine

Eclipse, egit... My worries are over.

Source Tree is like an iPhone. Whenever I'm installing it on a vm I need to go through many "getting started" steps before doing a simple call/commit.

@mundo03 trying it now, so far looks great! And who doesn't like anything that ends with "kraken" ☺️

@mundo03 it was great til I saw it is only available for Open source projects... 😔 oh well back to terminal...

@songwrite is it? I Have not seen any restriction besides "Free for personal use."

I mean, it is just a git gui, it workd with any git and hg repos on github, bitbucket and others.

I do not see why it should work only with open source

@songwrite ah so the free version restrictioms do say it is for personal, open source or educational use.

Big OR ;)

If you need kt for work, have them pay for the pro version, if it is for personal use, it can be used for non open source projects.

@mundo03 thanks for the recommendation nevertheless, if I get sick of terminal (so far so good) I might just ask my company to pay for it 😂 if not might just fork out the money!
