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.

SourceTree when I was still a software engineer.

I'm a manager now, and I see people insisting on command line who have no idea what they're doing. Then don't! I think it's an awful attitude that real programmers use git command line, and GUIs are for babies. Please call out this attitude whenever you see it. Use tools that work for you. Git has a terrible user experience, let's face it.
