   • No visualization of the branches
   • No git stash support

   Positive comment by Guest · Jun 18, 2017

   Good GUI to local repos and (obviously) very good integration with GitHub.

   GitKraken is a modern alternative to Sourcetree and brings updates frequently.

   Negative comment by Guest · Jan 24, 2020

   Free version only works with public repos

   Negative comment by Guest · Oct 23, 2019

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

   SmartGit vs Sourcetree Comments

   Positive comment by Aleksandr Dikov · Oct 12, 2018

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

   Negative comment by YouZer · Mar 14, 2023

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

   Positive comment by jamilsonjunior · Dec 5, 2016

   Faster than SourceTree and has a built-in conflict solver.

   Fork vs Sourcetree Comments

   Positive comment by Guest · Sep 2, 2019

   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.

   Positive comment by yhnavein · Mar 13, 2022

   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.
