There is Fork. But sadly, it is not available for Linux. Git-fork.com
Fork is only "free" in that the evaluation period is indefinite. This is generous and clicking through the nag isn't a huge deal, but I develop on both Linux and Windows and I need a client that supports both.
Ah, sorry. I didn't see that you require it to be free. It is also not open source IIRC.
Open source is a definite plus, but tbh not a requirement for me. Actively maintained, free, Windows and Linux, and simple. Oh, and it has to have a dark theme 😄
GitHub Desktop works well for me and my workflow; even though the Linux version is only supported by the community (possible thanks to it being open source). The UI is very neat and simple. Yet you can do squash, reorder commits, ammend, commit hunks etc. Dark theme available of course! It integrates with GitHub (for PRs mostly) but afaik isn't tied to GitHub repos.
