Best Git clients for macOS. Git is a command line tool, the best way to learn how it works - and how to get the most out of it - is to use it as such. This git GUI client is quite young compared to industry old-timers like git-tower 2 or SourceTree. So it's not as feature rich as you'd like. Still a very capable client for a simple day. Hey Product Hunters 👋 This is Sara, from the cephalopod-obsessed 🐙 team at Axosoft— AKA the developers of GitKraken! As Jack mentioned, GitKraken is a Git GUI client for software devs using Windows, Mac and Linux. Git comes with built-in GUI tools for committing and browsing (), but there are several third-party tools for users looking for platform-specific experience.If you want to add another GUI tool to this list, just follow the instructions.
What git GUI tool would you recommend for Windows and Mac?
I have tried SourceTree. While I find it nice, it crashes every once in a while. Anyone would suggest something instead and why?

For a cross platform git GUI you could try GitKraken:
- Cross-platform
- 100% standalone, i.e. just install it and it runs (you don't have to even install git).
- Built in merge tool
- Free (Gratis) but closed source (possible non-free pro version in the pipeline)
- GitHub & BitBucket integration.
- Keyboard Shortcuts
TortoiseGit is a good one for Windows. It integrates into the context menu and allows you to right-click on files/folders and perform Git operations. It also overlays icons so you can see at a glance the status of files and folders. TortoiseGit has useful displays and graphs of the revision history. Unfortunately, TortoiseGit is not available for Mac.
Of course, as was mentioned above, there are other GUI's for Windows and Mac.
I've always gotten on well with Atlassian's SourceTree.
It's very 'native' and works well with git / hg.
Fork is my favourite and it's free! It's got a great gui as well

Hi guys.
I’m developing a new Git GUI client for Mac. It’s free and I’m working on it in my spare time. I called it Fork.
Git Gui On Mac
I’m trying to make user interface as friendly as possible. The client is still more like a proof-of-concept (though I’m using it daily on my job) and is not ready to be shown publicly yet.
Itool For Mac
I’d like to show it to git enthusiasts and get the feedback in the early stages. If you are interested, please put your email on the website and I’ll give you access to the app.
Any advices, ideas or suggestions are welcome. Thank you in advance.
