Fork Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• I struggled with Git, so I'm making a game to spare others the pain

  Try Fork, it's still obviously git, but it's the easiest I've found so far: https://git-fork.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Rewrite Git history via drag-and-drop

  Agreed. I’d pay for this (I pay for [Fork][1]), but never as a subscription. [1]: https://git-fork.com. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Ask HN: Why no one as ever build a better GitHub client?

  I find the GitHub Desktop tool to be rather clunky. I use git in various ways; * CLI for most small tasks * GUI for big tasks and getting an overview * Editor UI for small things if I am currently in the editor. * GitHub’s website for collaboration and GH specific tasks The GUI’s I use are: Git-Fork on macOS, Windows. Visually my favorite UI of all. https://git-fork.com Sublime Merge on macOS, Windows and Linux.... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Ask HN: What macOS apps/programs do you use daily and recommend?

  Git Fork: a git client with a similar level of polish to Tower, but as a one-time purchase instead of a subscription product. https://git-fork.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Tools that keep me productive

  I do most of my "git"ing on the command line, but sometimes I need a graphical user interface (GUI) to really understand what's going on. When I need that, I reach for Fork. - Source: dev.to / 12 months ago

• My Personal Serverless Rust Developer Experience. It’s Better Than You Think

  Finally, I didn't mention source code control. That topic is very personal to people. I don't tend to use my IDE for managing Git. I like to use something external that gives me a "best-in-breed" solution. That tool for me is Fork. I've shared this tool before, but never in an article. If you are like me and enjoy something visual and easy to work with, Fork fits those requirements. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• GitUI

  My favorite got GUI is Fork: https://git-fork.com/ It supports drag and drop for several operations including merge, rebase, and stage/unstage (and probably more). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• When to refactor code

  They have a free trial to see if you like it: https://git-fork.com/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Can we do better than Git for version control?

  As the OP, along what axis do you want the VCS to be "better" than git? git's cli user interface is monstrous (yes, I know, you personally have 800 cli commands memorized and get them all right every time, that doesn't make it "good"). From the outset, the maintainers of got basically decided "it's too much work to make all the cli flags behave and interact consistently" so they didn't. This allowed git to grow... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• The Scariest Thing Happened to Me Today--Now I'm Scared to Use Git Again

  Take a look at Fork. It's a really nice visual representation of repositories, commits, merges even merge conflicts can be solved within a really clean UI. Highly recommend. Source: over 1 year ago

• I don't know why so many devs avoid a GUI for Git

  I prefer GUIs simply because they let me see several things at once with a window split up into panes without having to multiplex or tile terminals. It can’t just be any UI though, that I’m particular about. My favorite used to be the native GitHub client for Mac, but when GitHub abandoned that and replaced it with a much worse cross platform I switched to Fork[0] which has been excellent and even has a native... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• A collection of useful Mac Apps

  Fork - Price: $49 (one-time purchase) Git client for Mac that features a user-friendly interface and powerful features. Source: almost 2 years ago

• How to use Git?

  For a full GUI I really like https://git-fork.com/, but I find myself using it less and less lately. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Gitless a simple VCS built on top of Git

  I always feel like the main issue with tools like that is that you'll then just have to learn a separate syntax that's not portable and will be even harder to find instructions for. I usually prefer GUI tools for Git and https://git-fork.com is my favorite. I'd tell someone to use a tool like that and just use the subset of operations they feel comfortable with instead of a new wrapper tool. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Dev productivity tools you would pay for

  Git fork: https://git-fork.com/ Best git client i’ve tried, even though I hate it’s tabbing system. RemedyBG: https://remedybg.itch.io/remedybg Excellent debugger for Windows. Sublime Text: To this day I have not found any text editor that works better than this. 100% worth the money. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Working on 2 different computers

  If you prefer a UI to use git (the command line tool to interact with GitHub) I'd recommend using Fork. (SourceTree is also quite good; GitHub Desktop is a bit too minimal for my taste). Source: almost 2 years ago

• Me after trying to use Git with Eclipse

  I have done complex cherry picks, rebases, reverts, and some batshit merge conflict resolutions (that never should have happened in the first place) thanks to fork. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Software Developer Mac Apps

  Have to recommend git fork (https://git-fork.com/). I've tried a ton of git guis and find this both 1) the best one and 2) one of the few without subscription pricing. Plus it's non electron, native software. A must use for me. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Software Developer Mac Apps

  Https://git-fork.com/ (when not cmd-lining). Source: almost 2 years ago

• In your opinion, what is the best one-time (non-recurring) purchase Mac App?

  No mentions of Git-Fork? Damn good git GUI (windows version available too), easy to use and "free evaluation" that shows only a pop-up, can be used forever. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Commit

  My advice would be to use a solid git client like Git fork (paid + free trial), the GitHub app (free), or Git Kraken (free for non commercial, or paid), and watch some tutorials. Source: about 2 years ago
