Is anyone here using a GUI for git? If yes - which one and why? (szmer.info)

I ask because I like console, but at the same time have difficulties remembering all the commands. I'd like to try a GUI that is comfortable to use with only a keyboard.

My inbox got fediversized, fantastic feeling.

I use GitKraken. It has a beautiful interface. It's free to use non-commercially but I pay $50/yr so that it can connect to my companies Enterprise account. I know I'm weak with git (I get the concepts but I'm a visual person) so the money is worth it to me.

It's not free to work with certain things like private GitHub repositories unfortunately.

I'm a big fan of GitKraken too. It works equally well on both Linux (my home OS) and Windows (my workplace OS), and I like being able to use the same Git client in both environments.

I'm a very visual person too. I have no trouble understanding how CLI apps work and can use them when I need to, but even after almost 20 years I still don't find it as comfortable or intuitive as a well designed GUI.
