For the last 5(?) years or so I have been using GitKraken as my daily git driver for a while. I use it at my job mostly and love the functionality. I still use git via command line but jumping into git bash is nice no matter what os I am currently using.

I mainly use it:

  1. To see what branches have been modified (same as git tree but updates itself).
  2. Hooks into other git hosting like codeberg/gitea/forgeo without any real work. Login is also super easy and built in. Oauth is built in.
  3. Git amend is a one click interface.

There is other niceties like issue tracking, easy auto-creation of branches, etc... that I personally don't use all that much, but I can see the appeal.

The only real issue is the price. It used to be 30$ a year but now it's over 100+. I would happily pay 30 a year or pay one time for a license...but over 100 is too much in my opinion. I may go back to using all command line if the price keeps going up.

Is there any open source tools that do something similar it's the same look/feel?

I miss when Gitkraken used to be free. They nickel and dimed every feature they possibly could have

They still have the same free plan as 4 years ago. ~~This comment makes me doubt if you're using it.~~

The entire Gitkraken suite used to be free before 2016. The free tier you get now is a severely crippled version of what it used to be.

Not everything is a conspiracy, just so you understand

Yet this "severely crippled" version is already more than enough. It's not like the Gitkraken suite existed back then; it was just the one app.

Plus, 2016 was a year in closed beta. It seems to me that the free tier's been like this since release.
