GitKraken is the best git client so far. The user interface is very friendly. Everything is easy to do with this tool. A branch tree vizualization is very clear. I've tried SourceTree and I got lost in such many panels. Also performance of SourceTree is not as goot as GitKraken. I like Sublime Merge but it doesn't have so many features as the other tools. I've choosen GitKraken and as bonus I got GitKraken #Glo that is the next perfect tool.

I use it to manage my Repos for private projects. I love the clear UI and for me it is way easier to manage than in the shell. GitKraken
