Fork vs GitUp: What are the differences?

What is Fork? Fast and Friendly Git Client for Mac. Manage your repositories without leaving the application. Organize the repositores into categories. Fork's Diff Viewer provides a clear view to spot the changes in your source code quickly.

What is GitUp? The Git interface you've been missing all your life. GitUp lets you see your entire labyrinth of branches and merges with perfect clarity. Any change you make, large or small, even outside GitUp, is immediately reflected in GitUp's graph. No refreshing, no waiting.

Fork and GitUp can be primarily classified as "Source Code Management Desktop Apps" tools.

"One of the easiest and fastest git GUIs" is the primary reason why developers consider Fork over the competitors, whereas "Can edit commit messages" was stated as the key factor in picking GitUp.

Decisions about Fork and GitUp

Chose

over

I explored many Git Desktop tools for the Mac and my final decision was to use Fork. What I love about for that it contains three features, I like about a Git Client tool.

It allows * to handle day to day git operations (least important for me as I am cli junkie) * it helps to investigate the history * most important of all, it has a repo manager which many other tools are missing.
