Vscode and git lens. If you are older like me, emacs and magit
Isn't there a magit-alike plugin for vscode? I have found it so frustrating working with devs who don't use magit, because most seem to find slightly more advanced git like squash and fixup and cherry picking to be impossibly hard.
For these reasons, I always push for simple and straightforward workflows and many commits and merges. For many people git remains a mistery also after years working on it. I blame the easy-to-use guis, many people learn 2 buttons to press for a workflow, and they never care learning more
All the people I've worked with seem to use the command line. They just don't know much beyond "commit everything" and basic push/pull/branch/merge.
Conversely I learned most of what they don't know direct from the magit GUI. So I often don't know the specific command arguments. Not a good thing, but only a problem for communicating what to do to others.
Magit is super cool but not exactly easy to use :D
Unfortunately, GitLens is by GitKraken. Seems like they might not restrict it for private repos, though, I'll check it out.
They dont restrict it, I use it with private repos all the time
This^ plus ungit (especially when things go really bad; e.g. force pull/push) seems to be the current ideal git workflow.
Hopefully this project will change that though!
