A good GUI can solve most problems.

Is there a really good free Git GUI for Linux? I have tried a bunch of them but all the good ones seem to be closed source and paid.

Guess it’s a bit subjective what would be considered good, but personally I like gitk. It’s good enough for me at least.

I like SourceTree and it’s free. I don’t use it all the time, but if I’ve made a bunch of changes debugging something and I want to easily discard all of the debugging-only changes, the UI makes it really easy to commit or discard individual lines from the changeset.

Additionally, I set up an alias to open it from the command line (stree) and have it show whatever git directory I opened it from.

Will it run on Linux? I use Sourcetree on Windows but didn’t think it was available for Linux.

Gittyup, a fork of GitAhead, is my favorite.

floofloof ,

Thanks. I’ll check it out.

Magnetar ,

If my colleagues mess something up in their fancy GUIs, they come to me to fix it in the terminal.

Gxost ,

My experience is the opposite. A colleague who uses SourceTree and git console (for use cases not covered by SourceTree) asked me a few times to fix his branches when something went wrong (after using git console). I easily fixed it using SmartGit (paid software).
