Other tools

There are many other Git tools you can use. Here are three free and cross platform solutions

• Github Desktop
• Gitkraken
• SourceTree

<aside> 💭

It's up to personal preference what works the best, both CLI and GUI will use the same underlying system. You can even use both in the same project, e.g. commands on the CLI will reflect instantly in the GUI. The main advantage of a GUI is its visual overview of your repository which can come in handy from time to time.
