I was looking at video reviews of git GUI clients. The best ones are pricey and we are two people occasionally editing some webpages for our business website. It’s hosted on GitLab Pages.

Can anyone recommend something straightforward? I’ll be sticking to the terminal but my colleague is new to code repositories.

Git GUI is free, but looks terrible IMO. Sublime have a nice one and it’s not subscription based, but is expensive. We are both on Mac usually.

Another alternative I considered was showing them the three terminal commands I use mainly (add, commit and push) and then let them edit from the file manager itself. But because they’ll be doing this so rarely, it might be easy to forget.

Edit: I’ve settled on a few to try out: sourcetree, fork, gitup and the one by Sublime. The conversation doesn’t have to end there, but thanks for the help. So many great answers here :)

    LazyGit is something that I’ll definitely test out for my own use, thank you so much!. I’ll see what they think of it too.

    I’ve looked at a video comparison which included GitHub Desktop and it seemed unintuitive to me. https://yewtu.be/watch?v=4cX4HeN6lH8

    But it was compared against top-tier clients like Git Kraken so maybe it’s better than the impression I was left with. Actually, I think I’ll test it out too and show it to them along with LazyGit and Fork. Thanks again.
