Also love Fork and my whole team uses it at work aswell. We work on Windows and wanted a better GUI app since we use git from a GUI 90% of the time. We used to use Sourcetree years back and it never worked well. Tried a few alternatives but in my mind Fork was the clear winner. The UI is clear, snappy and works as you expect it would. I wish they had a higher price for companies (to make sure they can survive, since they use lifetime licensing...) and possibility to buy licenses that can be assigned and reassigned. I had to fight the company to buy the license since you always buy it for an individual, which does not fit how companies usually buy software or subscriptions.



I also use Fork and find it the fastest and easiest git GUI. And I tried so many GUIs in the past. One thing that works well in Fork is submodules, which are almost non-existent in other GUIs. And the UI is really fast to respond.

On a side note, regarding the licensing. As a software vendor selling to enterprises, I always struggle with finding this kind of information. Would you be willing to briefly explain how large enterprises usually buy software or subscriptions? It would help me/us so much.


Not the OP, but check out any software pricing page[0] for the sorts of things enterprises are after. E.g. larger-discount pricing; annual/monthly invoice billing; team management; SSO; etc.
