Does it make sense to buy Fork?

Question

git

Hello! Recently started using git in my project and was looking for a good git client. I was told that it is best to use Fork. Looked and found out that he paid. Do I use Fork in companies? Or are they all on consoles? Is this purchase worth your money (2.400 rubles)?

Answer 1

Many IDEs have a built-in git client. Standard operations like commit and push can be done there.
For something more I use the standard console version.

Answer 2

I used the free SourceTree for a while, until I demolished it as unnecessary, since the command line capabilities suit everyone.
But it seems that fans of buttons and interfaces will like it.

Answer 3

What for!? There is a command line, and there is nothing better than it, for noobs there is a free github desktop.

Answer 4

Fork is "conditionally paid", nothing prevents you from installing it and just periodically closing the window with a purchase offer (it feels like it doesn't pop up very often). If you are looking for your first GUI for git - Fork is a good start, and then you can try and compare with others like SourceTree, Sublime Merge, GitKraken, etc.

Answer 5

I'm using the PHPStorm IDE. There is already a powerful git client on board. But the instrumentation there is an overhead wild. Just what you need to satisfy the most ardent followers of the GUI.
The only thing that is really cool, as for me, is to visually resolve conflicts. Everything. For everything else, the console is enough.

Answer 6

If you are using Sublime Text, then the GitSavvy plugin is a very handy tool. It's as simple as there are no basic operations even in PHPStorm. By the way, there is a very simple way to add individual changes to the stage, and not entire files.
For conflict merging, you can use any third-party file comparison product, such as Meld.
