Pros
Pro Fast
This is one the fastest client we've found for switching around them.
Pro Actual git commands are visible/editable
Most actions have an option where it will show the actual Git command it's going to run, and you can modify it in place. Very handy if you need to use some obscure option, and also good training for learning command-line operations.
Pro Easy for beginners
This helps to see more complexity and it's very easy to get started with.
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 Slim feature set
Con Dark theme behind paywall
The evaluation version is fully functional, but is restricted to the light theme only.
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.
