    What is the best GUI git Client? Currently I use SourceTree but I don't like its UI much and it also requires an Atlasssian account to work..

    GitHub desktop app works with local repos too it seems. Although the UI is focussed a lot on GitHub than git.

    Any suggestions?

    Most IDEs integrate with git nowadays, so you can use the built in UI there (which is what I do).

    Just learn the git bash already. Even in Windows, it works great with a partial cygwin environment. I once watched a Sinhalese video even (I don't think they completed it, by I only watched first 2 parts).

    UI client ekak ey oni wenne? Command line karanna beri monawada?

    Most UI s simply forward calls to the bash client. Everything the UI can do plus a lot more can be done with the command line. Squashing, and cherry picking are probably not the only actions that make sense to use the UI.

    Squashing can be done easily with git bash..
    git -i rebase origin/develop
    Delete pick and enter s instead
    escape :wq
