Choosing well
Check where it runs
Choose a client that fits your computer or deployment setup. Platform options in this category include macOS, Windows, Linux, self-hosted tools, extensions and web apps.
Android is not named among the listed platforms. If you plan to work from a Xiaomi, Redmi or POCO phone or tablet, verify mobile support before committing.
Compare free and paid access
A free plan, a free trial or open-source code can change the cost of trying a client. Check what the free plan includes and whether a trial expires.
Review the paid starting price where one is shown. Fork lists a price from $59 per user, while Git, TortoiseGit, Sourcetree, gitg, GitButler, SourceGit and Git Cola list free plans.
Match your repository host
Check repository-hosting support against the services you use. A client should fit the way your repositories are hosted, whether that is a hosted service or a self-hosted setup.
Review history and conflicts
Visual history can make branches and commits easier to follow. Conflict-resolution tools matter when changes overlap, so compare how clearly a client presents and resolves conflicts.
Check Git workflow features
Compare support for the Git workflows you use, including branching and commit work. If your repositories contain submodules, confirm submodule support before choosing a client.
Read the licence
Open-source code is available from tools in this category. If you need to read or change the code, check the licence and the project’s terms before adopting a tool.
