    GitKraken is a very good git client, but, is personal, if you are working on a public repo, if you are trying to connect to a private or an organization repo in github, you must pay a different license

    Don’t be put off by the fact that it runs on both Windows & Mac. It is not an Electron app, and feels native on both platforms. Powerful and frequently updated, with built-in merging. And currently free.
