For repository work, a graphical Git client can make changes and history easier to work with visually. Compare conflict editor and interactive rebase support for resolving conflicts and revising commits, then check Git LFS and submodule support against your repositories. Offline mode and supported platforms help you assess where a client fits your workflow; free-plan availability and paid-from pricing add cost considerations. Working Copy, GitKraken Desktop, and SmartGit are among the entries to consider, with Git Cola and Git Extensions also represented. Use the listed capabilities to judge which client aligns with the repositories you handle and the way you prefer to manage Git.
