Alternatives to GitKraken? (lemmy.world)

For the last 5(?) years or so I have been using GitKraken as my daily git driver for a while. I use it at my job mostly and love the functionality. I still use git via command line but jumping into git bash is nice no matter what os I am currently using.

I mainly use it:

To see what branches have been modified (same as git tree but updates itself).
Hooks into other git hosting like codeberg/gitea/forgeo without any real work. Login is also super easy and built in. Oauth is built in.
Git amend is a one click interface.

There is other niceties like issue tracking, easy auto-creation of branches, etc... that I personally don't use all that much, but I can see the appeal.

The only real issue is the price. It used to be 30$ a year but now it's over 100+. I would happily pay 30 a year or pay one time for a license...but over 100 is too much in my opinion. I may go back to using all command line if the price keeps going up.

Is there any open source tools that do something similar it's the same look/feel?

SourceTree by Atlassian is great, I’ve used it for years and love it. It’s also free. They kind of push you into signing up for a BitBucket account, but it’s skippable. I think it checks all the boxes for the requirements you listed.

It's sooo sloooow though.

Really? I hated SourceTree. It was the reason why I switched to GitKraken in the first place. Haven't needed to use git in a few years now but especially when dealing with conflicts, GitKraken was just infinitely superior and sourcetree annoyingly barebones.
