Recommend git gui client

[c64]

Can anyone recommend a linux gui client for git? Features i need:
- for each commit show which files added / deleted / changed, preferably as a tree
- for each commit can click on each changed file and see the diff side-by-side
- can see diff for changed file before commit, also side-by-side

is it only for Mac?

Oh, you wanted Linux, sorry.

gitg

It's Linux, Windows, and Mac

Sublime Merge

Supports Windows, Mac, and Linux.

It meets the requirements you listed, but doesn't display a commit's added/deleted/changed files as a tree, only as a list as far as I can tell.

A license is $100, but there's a generous trial period.

I vastly prefer the command line over any git gui I've tried, but Sublime Merge is the least irritating git gui I've come across that works on both Windows and Linux.

Thanks. The only one from suggested clients which shows diff side-by-side

How about web interfaces like Github or Gitlab? For me they work well enough for looking at commits etc that I never looked for a desktop client.

Alternatively, most IDEs like Visual Studio Code and the various JetBrains products will have a git gui built in, and often have extensions like GitLens that expand on this.

Computer is permanently offline, so web interfaces are not an option.

For development I use git client inside IDE, and it's perfect.

However I also need one to keep track of documentation, etc. Also, not everything supports git, for example my old Altium

VS Code, assuming it’s time to update the IDE. Has built in plugin for git. Can get countess 3rd party plugins almost for everything.

FYI: Sublime Merge does side-by-side.  Otherwise I wouldn't have suggested it.  See attached images.

FWIW: I tried SmartGit several times and its workflow just never 'clicked' with me.  Of course YMMV.
