I am moving out of a windows enviroment where i used Tortoise Git. I heard linux git clients are pretty poor... can you guys help me finding a good one?

without mentioning what you consider a git client needs to be good this is a matter of opinion.– RinzwindMay 5, 2016 at 5:36

I would recommend GitKraken because it is pretty polished, but it is closed-source.

1Another vote for GitKraken. I just switched to it recently. It is beautifully designed and usable. And integrates with GitFlow nicely. I tried some other Linux git GUIs and they were ugly as heck, and their missing features kept leading me back to command line.– jwinnDec 7, 2016 at 19:17

2Downloaded and installed today. Very nice and polished, addictive gui. But the fact that it's an electron app made me uneasy, because I'm among those users who are low in RAM.– AnwarMar 9, 2017 at 8:46

2I've had a lot of troubles with GitKraken. It's nice and pretty, but it isn't stable or supportive of all features. Mar 11, 2017 at 5:22

1Not only it is closed-source, but it is only free (as in beer) for non-commercial use. So be sure that you have a proper licence if using it for commercial use. May 31, 2017 at 13:09
I use command line but two very nice eye candy GUIs here:
http://www.syntevo.com/smartgit/
http://www.collab.net/products/giteye
But you should really learn to use git in command line. It will pay off.

GitKraken needs an internet connection and an account to connect to use it, not good for local Intranet. GitExtension too complicate to install on Linux. gitg needs a lot of additional libs to compile , stops at ./configure. So, GitEye is the one that needs nothing to run, download, uncmpress and run :), good job– PhiberJan 12, 2018 at 19:17
