Is anyone here using a GUI for git? If yes - which one and why? (szmer.info)

I ask because I like console, but at the same time have difficulties remembering all the commands. I'd like to try a GUI that is comfortable to use with only a keyboard.

I used SourceTree for a long time. It's so close to being great, but every now and then some annoying little issue crops up and it takes them months or years to fix it.

Last year I ended up switching to just using VSCode as my git client. It's going pretty well. The Git Graph plugin is fantastic for browsing through the commit history. The GitLens plugin has some great features, but it's also very gradually getting increasingly annoying (trying to get you to pay for premium features, mainly).

GitKraken looks pretty nice, but I don't want to subscribe to use it for work.
