I’d recommend GitKraken instead of GitHub Desktop, both for learning and for senior level.

@Wollantine

Highly recommend GitKraken. It’s the best git gui that I’ve found and could not be without it now.

May I humbly recommend our lord and savior GitKraken.

Visualize Git, Minimize Mistakes

GitKraken Desktop turns the complex web of Git commands into a clear, navigable map of your project’s history. This visual approach not only demystifies version control, but also makes tracking changes and understanding the impact of each commit a breeze.

Easy-to-read commit history

The Commit Graph provides an easy-to-use interface to address common Git challenges. Feel more confident about managing version control and get a clear view of who changed what and when.

Open any repo in GitKraken Desktop to visualize the commit history.

Understand any change

With the flexible Diff View you can review past changes, explore File Blame or File History, and even edit code directly, enabling you to stay on top of your project development with ease.
Review the change set for any file in hunk, split, or inline view.

Speed Up Your Workflow with AI

Automate repetitive tasks and stay focused on what matters. GitKraken Desktop offers built-in AI capabilities to fast track your workflow—no extra tools, no switching interfaces. 

Summarize past changes with AI

Looking through diffs can take a while. Instead, let GitKraken AI generate natural language explanations of your commits, right from the UI.

Generate a plain language explanation of one or more commits.

Generate commit messages from changes

Don’t worry, we’ve all skipped writing helpful commit messages and descriptions. But good news! Create clear, consistent commit messages based on your staged changes with just 1 click.
GitKraken suggests a summary and description, which you can review and edit.

Unblock PR & Code Reviews

Traditional code collaboration relies heavily on pull requests, which forces devs to wait for valuable feedback. GitKraken Desktop expedites feedback and fills in the missing context you need for swifter code reviews.

Know what’s next 

Use the Launchpad to see and prioritize all of your issues, pull requests, and WIPs. Start your day in the Launchpad and take action on your most important work without second-guessing or juggling apps. 

Pin to the top or Snooze for later.

See pull requests by status

Which PRs need attention? With the Launchpad, your PRs and issues are organized by status so you can unblock your team and keep your project moving.

See which PRs are unassigned, ready to merge, and more.

Suggest code changes internally

Take action on GitHub Pull Requests directly from GitKraken Desktop! Review the code in-app, and send suggestions to other GitKraken users on your team.

Manage Multiple Repos

Working with multiple repositories doesn’t have to be a pain. With GitKraken Desktop, you can group your repos together and see the status of their branches, issues, and pull requests all in one place.

Stay organized, your way

Group your repos and gain immediate visibility into currently checked-out branches, remote status, and any work you have in progress. Plus, you can perform multi repo actions like fetch or pull without doing them one at a time.

Group repos into Workspaces to get access to multi-repo actions and status.

Your pull requests in one place

Save the need to open a new browser tab. Instead, you can view, edit or comment on your pull requests from the Launchpad. Merge when it’s done from GitKraken Desktop!

Get a list of all pull requests for any group of repos.

Resolve Merge Conflicts with Ease

Resolving merge conflicts can be a tedious process. But with GitKraken Desktop’s conflict detection and merge tool,  you can tackle merge conflicts with confidence and ease. 

Detect conflicts early

Intervene before any conflicts happen. When your other teammates use GitKraken, you can get potential conflict warnings when another team member is editing in the same area of the codebase as you.

GitKraken Desktop alerts you about merge conflicts.

Knock out conflicting code​

The Merge Tool is designed to make conflict resolution much safer and less time-consuming. With its user-friendly interface, you’ll see the current branch and the target branch you’re merging into side by side.

Use the Merge Tool to resolve conflicts with ease and style.
