Question Ranking
Pros
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
Pro Context based help
No need to memorize a ton of keys or crawl man pages, gitui only Shows you the valid keys depending on your current context.
Pro Intuitive key shortcuts
Perfect for developers who hate to leave their keyboard.
Pro Very fast even in massive repos
Most alternatives crash or run out of memory when opening 1M+ commits repos line Linux.
Pro Free and open source
Pro Crossplatform
Supports macOS, Linux, and Windows.
Cons
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.
Con Terminal is not for everyone
It fills a niche between full-blown GUI apps and the bare git CLI.
Con Lacks some features
It’s still in active development and catches up quickly.
