   Much better interface than new SourceTree has, no bugs with digital tablet, auto-detection repos, portable version.

   No more "Free personal" license. There is only paid license and 30 days test. Going back to Sourcetree.

   I liked the application, but open private repository for a paid user :( it isn't freeware.

   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.

   After 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.

    Doesn't support GitHub OAuth login. Requires API key instead. This is significantly less secure than competing products.
