4.0/5

It's no secret that being a developer might or can potentially make someone think that using the command line is always better. Because it isn't. Sure, using the command line might be faster (in most cases).

When it comes to working with Git, there are various basic commands that all developers use on a daily basis. These include git commit, git branch, git push, git pull, and so forth.

However, adding a Git client into your daily web development workflow can feel wonderful. A Git client provides a lot more visual aid when it comes working with Git, and it allows you to be faster and more efficient on basic tasks such as finding commits and branches, viewing the changes in each commit, you get the idea.

GitFriend is a free (but not open-source) and cross-platform Git client for all major platforms out there such as Linux, Windows, and macOS. Is it the best Git client out there? Definitely not. Is the worst? Also, probably not.

Nevertheless, if you're not a hardcore, advanced, seasoned Git user, then GitFiend might just prove quite adequate for your needs. It provides a decent GUI and access to all the Git commands.

For instance, you can instantly refresh repos, get a overview of the whole repository state, clone, init, fetch, auto-fetch, push, pull, stage, and commit.

It also allows you to merge, switch, create, delte and compare in branches view, undo un-pushed commits, rever commits, filter commits, and as mentioned before, quickly search for everything you might think off (history for code, commits, messages, users, and branches).

The app is also good when it comes to stashing and branching. For instance, with its help, you're always a few clicks away from stashing, un-stathisng specific files and lines, as well as merging, switching, creating, and deleting in branches view. Lines can also be rearranged, which should make conflict resolving a lot smoother.

GitFiend is not the type of app that will blow your mind. However, it does work flawlessly, and it should get the job done for most day-to-day Git users.
