- They should make it in Rust.
  
  I actually did consider rewriting it to use Tauri over electron, but found it didn't fit to my pipeline or offered everything I needed,
  
  Based rustacean
  
  better yet, make it in python with thiccest libraries it have
This reminds me a lot of Gitkraken. Vast majority of the time git cli is enough, but for that rare situation when an operation is too complex, the gui was very convenient. Shame they nickel and dime you on everything now
- Funny. I have the opposite experience with git. Use GUI for simple tasks and drop to CLI when it's complicated or when something goes wrong.
  
  Same. I mostly use sourcetree to do quick self-reviews and to discard lines or hunks before a commit.
  
  But I've also grown very weary of having to dig people out of git messes they've made with sourcetree and the likes.
  
  Visual clients aren't to blame for that, but they contribute. So many times I've asked "and what git commands did that run?" only to receive a dumb stare as a reply.
Does this help with rebasing? I rarely have a need to rebase but all the same I avoid it because I just don't get it.
- How you could somewhat rebase manually (to understand the effect; or because you like to handle the merge conflicts more granular or be more selective):
  
  We assume we have the branch "Feat" which was started on an old version of "Main", and now want to rebase it:
  
  Rename "Feat" to "Old" (does not happen during rebase, but we kinda need it for this demonstration)
  
  Create "Feat" at the newest (or wherever you want) commit of "Main"
  
  Cherrypick all commits from "Old" into "Feat"
  
  Et viola - you kinda manually rebased "Feat" on "Main"
  
  Unless you really hate the commits that say "merged branch X into Y" I never saw rebasing as any easier than merging.
- Not currently but it is planned to be added soon along with in-client conflict resolution.
- Rebasing is basically copy/paste of commits. I do it all the time, to keep a feature branch updated with develop for instance.
  
  I normally just do a merge and resolve the conflicts.
