• 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 / 3 months 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 / 4 months ago

• When to refactor code

  They have a free trial to see if you like it: https://git-fork.com/. Source: 5 months 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 / 5 months 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: 5 months 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 / 5 months 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: 10 months 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: 10 months 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 / 10 months 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 / 11 months 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: 11 months 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: 11 months 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: 11 months ago

• Software Developer Mac Apps

• 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: 12 months 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 1 year ago

• What is the relationship between Homebrew, git and the macOS?

  Git in particular is trivial to install on macs, if you know how to use the command line. If you don't, I strongly suggest you use something like fork or the github desktop client if you use that. They ship with git baked in, even, usually. Source: about 1 year ago

• Calm down VSCode

  I use Fork but many of my colleagues used Sourcetree. I've used both. IMO fork played nicer with husky pre commit hooks and I found the more complex workflow UIs easier to use so I stuck with it. I think I ended up paying for it after using it for years in evaluation mode but you can just keep skipping. Truth be told I rarely use git cli outside of switching/creating branches and pulling while I'm in IDE. The guis... Source: about 1 year ago

• What apps should I get if I am a programmer in college? Also looking for an app to keep me organized and to brainstorm. Thanks guys.

  A git client: Fork (paid), GitFox (paid), or Tower (subscription) for git version control. Which one you use is personal preference / price sensitivity. It's Ford vs Chevy. GitUp is free but a little weirder UI, though very powerful. Source: about 1 year ago
