Comments about Fork as an Alternative to Sourcetree
yhnaveinAfter going to GitFork, I can see that SourceTree was extremely hard and not straightforward to use. Fork is a faster, lightweight and more powerful alternative.
GitKraken is great but really heavy on resources. Fork does not rely on Electron, making it lighter on memory. Moreover, it does not ask for an account.

Jack JohnsonA great alternative to Sourcetree. Really happy that I switched over to this app.
No more "Free personal" license. There is only paid license and 30 days test. Going back to Sourcetree.
