Is anyone here using a GUI for git? If yes - which one and why? (szmer.info)

I ask because I like console, but at the same time have difficulties remembering all the commands. I'd like to try a GUI that is comfortable to use with only a keyboard.
[edit]
My inbox got fediversized, fantastic feeling.

I've used https://www.sublimemerge.com and https://www.sourcetreeapp.com but I think i prefer to just use my terminal most of the time...

KDE has a relatively new git tool named Kommit: https://apps.kde.org/de/kommit

I use TortoiseGit. The log window gives me overview and almost every action I need. Switching, rebasing, creating and deleting branches and tags, pushing, fetching, merging, view logs of files, diffing, blaming…

The log view is still much better than the VS Git log view. And due to it's visual GUI it's much better than CLI when going beyond just one branch or a low number of my own branches.

I use GitKraken. It has a beautiful interface. It's free to use non-commercially but I pay $50/yr so that it can connect to my companies Enterprise account. I know I'm weak with git (I get the concepts but I'm a visual person) so the money is worth it to me.

I'm a very visual person too. I have no trouble understanding how CLI apps work and can use them when I need to, but even after almost 20 years I still don't find it as comfortable or intuitive as a well designed GUI.

It's not free to work with certain things like private GitHub repositories unfortunately.
