The best gut GUI is GitUp: https://gitup.co/

Magit is not even close to be on the same level.

Any insane operation you want at your fingertips.

It's Mac-only. That's a pretty serious limitation for a modern Git tool.

Isn’t this just something that any IDE has built-in these days? Maybe I’m missing something, but how is this fundamentally different from the built-in git timeline view from something like VSCode or Jetbrains?

I upvoted you because you were unfairly downvoted. I don't even use a Mac any more after 20 years of exclusively using them but it's actually hilarious how bad magit is compared to this. It's all well and good making the most of limitations that are self imposed but people need to remember to look outside their own bubble.

So the software is mac-only, you haven't used a mac in over 20 years so you haven't used this software and yet... you claim it's better than magit?

i mean, it's very dishonest at best.

The claim was that its GUI is better than Magit's, following this claim: "Magit is absolutely the best Git GUI ever."

		It may be prettier looking. I've seen many Git GUIs that are prettier than Magit. But none of them that I've tried have ever come close to the workflow. I can stage and unstage individual hunks, do complex interactive rebases, squash commits, break apart commits, etc. much faster in Magit than I can in other Git GUIs. Maybe you're hung up on the "G" part; perhaps I should have just said "UI" rather than "GUI". So no, I haven't tried that one because it's Mac only, but I'm not really seeing from the screen recordings the kind of workflow that I find so powerful in Magit.
