A simple Git client with a friendly UI.

The app is generally smooth, but I find its handling of merge conflicts to be a bit clunky. It often forces me to open the files in VS Code anyway. Also, switching between repositories isn't as fast as in other clients. It's free, so I can't complain too much, but there's room for improvement.

This is the best tool for teaching new developers how to use Git. It removes the fear of the command line. However, once you need to do a squash, an interactive rebase, or cherry-pick, you have to drop back to the terminal. It's a fantastic starter tool that simplifies the most common workflows.

I've used the command line for years, but I still reach for GitHub Desktop for most of my daily work. Staging specific lines, writing commit messages, and visualizing branches is just so much faster and clearer in a GUI. It handles the basics perfectly without getting in the way.
