A curated list of delightful tools for digital creatives in a variety of mediums.
Cheers for the list. Great to keep an eye open for alternatives. What I’m looking for right now is a good GIT client for Ubuntu.
On windows I’ve got Sourecetree, it’s free and got a really simple UI.
I’ve found a single program, SmartGit that looks decent but apparently it’s just a trial version and they’ve got licenses. I haven’t really found anything as a good substitute
Actually not trying to be a dick or a pedant, but is there a problem with just the git command? I’ve been using it since git existed so I don’t really have anything to compare it to. The idea of finding another client seems a bit strange to me.
While the CLI provides the same functionality, it can be a lot easier to visually parse information or provide direct interactivity with a GUI instead. If you’re working on a large project or just want a different way to display the information git provides, it makes things a bit smoother.
Generally I just use VSCode’s source control UI when I want a GUI for git. I can’t imagine using a standalone GUI for git when all the big editors have their own interfaces.
One thing I’ve found invaluable about a visual interface is the ability to quickly browse the commit tree. Having a big list of commits that you can sort and click to see the diff of each file has saved me on multiple occasions. I’m sure it’s all info you can get from the CLI as well, but I can’t imagine it being even half as fast.
