Magit, the magical Git interface (2017)

VSCode with Gitlens is the best git GUI experience I've had. I prefer most operations via git cli, but for commiting partial changes and merge conflicts, it's everything I could ask for.

I just discovered that GitLens has been acquired by GitKraken. Considering that GK's entire business is "buy our premium Git GUI because the free ones suck", I have to wonder if they'll try going to intentionally wreck the extension. Fortunately it's MIT licensed.

I disagree. It's ok. But it doesn't even have a DAG viewer. What kind of GUI doesn't even have `git log --tree`?

Hopefully that's just because VSCode didn't allow arbitrary widgets until recently. Presumably they're working on it.

Git Graph [0] already exists as a different extension from GitLens. It works quite well, although of course it would be nice if the two extensions could integrate with each other.

That looks nice! Yeah these things are so integral to development it would be nice if they were just core features of VSCode.
