GitBlade is offered fro Windows, macOS and Linux and has an essential graphical interface. The first allows to consult the detail of each change (with title, comment, author and file preview), the second offers a visual comparison of changes and, with a right click, brings to options like launching the system editor to modify the file in that particular line the last tab brings to a list of files within the repo, with visual previe and access to the history of each one. Moving between the different phases is easy and the graphical structure of the dashboard and of the commits list is comfortable under the main panel there are three tabs with important features like preview of the commit, list of variations and file manager. You can open already-cloned repos or add new ones. Basic operations are quickly available, as well as the control and navigation between branches adding a repository is an immediate action. It’s available for both Windows and macOS and it’s characterized by a lean and clear interface. The first phase is cloning a repository, followed by an overview of the dashboard, then adding a branch and commit it.įork is the first of the list.
The sequence of operations we just talked about is pretty basic, yet it coverS every fundamental operation that can be done with these tools, regardless of advanced capabilities that, however, many of these tools support.
There are plenty of Git clients, but our selection covers eight of them such a wide assortment indicates a certain attention from the development world on this tool, which cover anything between important projects like GitKraken and simplified tools like TortoiseGit.Īpart from UnGit which is Web-based, the remaining tools are available on both Windows and Mac, while Linux support is not offered by all of them.
So we’ve decided to test a selection of Git clients with a graphical interface by trying a typical sequence of operations, always the same one, to simulate a typical use experience. An important aspect to take the best out of this technology is the choice of the client to use. In the last two issues of GURU advisor we covered advantages and use cases of Git.
