Ask HN: Do you have a favorite GUI Git client for macOS?

I've been evaluating SourceTree and Tower lately after being an exclusive CLI Git guy. Both are really nice, but Tower has a pretty steep price at $80. Are there any other great free or paid apps around?

I personally use GitKraken (https://www.gitkraken.com/) and I love it. There's a great blend between a pleasant UI and extensive control over what it's doing. Plus it's cross-platform, which is nice.

I really like GitX (http://gitx.frim.nl/), which I use mostly for its commit browsing & search capability. It's free and licensed under GPL-2.

Compared to the amount of time it takes to become proficient with the Git command line, $80 might or might not be a good investment.

I've used SourceTree under Windows and it seemed to be a good product. Now I mostly use the command line.

Good luck.
