I wish! The best Linux git gui I have found is SmartGit. I like it, but it’s just a little goofy and not free. Fork is better for its ability to very easily stage and/or stash a subset of the current changeset.
Anyone got any suggestions? I tried git-cola and gitkraken. The former I found obtuse and limited, and the latter is not free in addition to somehow making git harder with a pretty gui.
Gitkraken is free as long as the repository is public, which seems like an alright compromise to me. The only problem I had with it was that it was electron. What did it make harder for you?
The best ones I have found for Linux are SmartGit and Sublime Merge, but neither are free in any sense. Sublime Merge is slightly cheaper. SmartGit offers a free “hobby license” but it limits which kinds of repos you can work with.
Gitkraken looks like it might be good but I haven’t used it.
You have my attention
Do they have a Linux client though?
sadly no and i don’t think it works through wine
but technically they have a mac client which is basically an expensive version of linux
Not really. It’s BSD, and even then the layout of the OS is quite far from BSD. Besides that you have a lot more technical stuff. Just use wine.

I just really detest the UI. And I have private repos I have to work with as well.

Right and that is how I currently use it
