Is anyone here using a GUI for git? If yes - which one and why? (szmer.info)

I ask because I like console, but at the same time have difficulties remembering all the commands. I'd like to try a GUI that is comfortable to use with only a keyboard.

My inbox got fediversized, fantastic feeling.

+1 for Lazygit. It doesn't cover all of my needs so I have to use the CLI for a few small things, but for 99% of your typical git usage this tool is such a gift.

I'm curious: what's missing for you?

I needed a few smaller features (like rebasing onto any commit, not just HEAD) and found the code quite easy to adapt to my needs (had to take half a day to learn Go first though).

A proper gerrit integration would be awesome though.

What's lacking for you and where did you end up tool-wise?
