Why Use a Graphical Client?

Graphical vs Text-based Client

Firstly, I’ll be clear, I have nothing against working with the Git command line. Here are some CLI advantages:

Command Line Client Advantages

1. Preinstalled on macOS and most Linux distributions
2. Interoperability with other Unix commands
3. Highly automatable
4. Can be used remotely

With respect to the last two points, I often need to log into a server and access a repository over SSH. In these cases, command-line git is my tool of choice. For the vast majority of my daily work, however, I much prefer a graphical client. I will list some of the main reasons below:

Graphical Client Advantages

First-class visualization: on a fundamental level, git is a tree of changes (commits) to a version control history (repository). In graphical clients, we get a visualization of these changes that is always available, easy to read, and interactive.

Being able to visualise commits, branches, tags, comments, authors in a single graph is indispensable.

Faster workflow: with practice (and maybe additional tools) developers can work very fast with command-line Git, but I think it’s tough to compete with graphical clients offering features like:

• Drag and drop to pull, push and cherry-pick from a timeline
• Multiple repository management
• Shortcuts to flick between stashes, pull requests, and history.

Less to remember: every time I want to clone a repository from the command line and recursively pull all submodules, I have to check online for the right command! Each Git command generally supports multiple options, and this creates a lot of overhead. I could probably keep a cheat sheet handy, but why bother when a graphical client means that I don’t have to?
