Pros
Pro Clean, minimalistic UI
The UI is clean and intuitive. The top bar displays the current branch, buttons for pushing or pulling, the target branch and a search box for searching through the history.
The main view is divided into three parts: a file tree, a section that shows the modified files with details and a section that displays information about the remote branch.
Pro Easy to use
Gitbox is very easy to use. You can push, pull and commit all with a single click.
Pro Blazing fast
Fast Git GUI. Everything is already there and loaded when you open up the window.
Pro Allows doing complex things without memorizing git
Git usage beyond basic checkout/commit is arcane; GitUp lets you do things in git in seconds that would take you a half hour of research with the command line.
Pro Full undo
You can backup, or edit commits, if you make a mistake.
Pro Open Source, GPL-licensed
Cons
Con Pricing
Con No diff-viewer
Diff-viewing requires an external tool.
Con OS X Only
Only available for OSX, so if you are used to working with different OSes and you want the same tools in each of them, it's impossible to have that with GitUp.
Con Font size is not adjustable
Tiny font not good for those with poor vision.
