Do people really prefer graphical git over the command line? I'm honestly curious. FTP with a GUI I get, but it doesn't seem like git lends itself as well to such a UI.
- ianlevesque 13y agoYeah Transmit is awesome (as is Cyberduck), but for git all you need is to enable color on the CLI.
- immy 13y agoyup, sure do - for one use case. reviewing diffs and choosing what files/lines to commit. GitX.
- pazimzadeh 13y agoI'm not that technical, so the GUI really helped me get started. Having one Sync button is useful because you don't have to remember to pull before you push. The Github app is actually not my favorite Git GUI, Gitbox is (http://gitboxapp.com/ http://gitboxapp.com/).
- ChrisClark 13y agoI found a gut GUI was good for me as a beginner, it was a stepping stone to using it on the command line. I was so stuck in a Subversion mindset that I needed something visual to work with first. But now I use it on the command line all the time.
- quantumpotato_ 13y agoI love gitx for Mac [0]. Shows list of all files changed. Click the file and each consecutive line of change is shown above. You can stage individual blocks. Plus it's much easier (for me) to shift-click a few files than git add path_to/file_changed N times. [0]http://gitx.frim.nl/ http://gitx.frim.nl/
