    I just need a GUI or some sort of visual reference. I have trouble picturing what exactly is going on with each variant of the command. I’ve been able to fuddle through it every time I do some programming, and when I used Android Studio there were some GUI tools to use but otherwise I always get so confused. I think using IDEs would help in other projects but that’s a thing that keeps me from doing programming projects on the regular.

      I’ve been using TortoiseGit since the beginning. Nothing ever came close for me.

      I in the log view I have overview, filters, and all actions at hand.

        I had to switch to linux sometimes and the horror of not having Tortoise there almost killed me

        Nah, sourcetree has annoying bugs that never get fixed.

        Use Fork, it’s a better sourcetree.

        It’s free the same way that Sublime Text is: They’ll ask for a payment once a month, but you can say you’re “evaluating it” and use it for free. If you like it enough, you can pay for it. I have.
