Almost none of these posts mention GitHub Desktop, which is by far the main reason I can't leave GitHub right now.

Don't get me wrong, I really want to, but for less tech-savvy people like me (who also don't have the energy or time to figure it out), working from a terminal to check commits and push changes is an absolute hell. GH Desktop does this part so well and makes it easy for people without coding knowledge to use it.

@donno @nixCraft Cool part about git is that there are a lot of GUI tools out there (both paid, free and open source ones!)

For example:
https://www.sublimemerge.com
https://sourcetreeapp.com
https://tortoisegit.org

Git also comes with their own GUI (`git gui` command in the terminal).

I personally haven't tested any of them (I just use the VSCode GUI for Codeberg).

@crittero I know, and I tried a lot of them. However Codeberg misses a lot of functions with those clients in comparison with GH.

I get that it's very hard to compete with a bazillion dollar company, but you can't ignore how user-friendly it is in comparison. :(
