I’m wondering if you use any (graphical) clients to manage your Git, and if so, what client you use.

I myself have to use git professionally across all 3 major OS-es, and I currently use Sourcetree on Windows and macOS, and the Git tools built-in into IntelliJ on Linux.

Have given MaGit a try, but just couldn’t get all the shortcuts to stick in my mind.

Interested to hear your experiences!

    I usually use git add -p to selectively stage hunks. But in git add -i I think running the patch command does the same thing to get into patch mode.

    If patch mode shows you a hunk, and you only want some of the lines you can press s to split into smaller hunks. Then you’ll be prompted whether to add each smaller hunk separately.

    If you want to stage a change that is on the same line as a change you don’t want to stage, or on an adjacent line, then you need to use e to edit the hunk. Git stages whatever changes are left when you’re done editing. The file in the working tree on disk is unchanged.
