I’ve used SourceTree for a decade, Fork is the only one I’ve switched to partially (at work).
I probably will switch back to ST even at work because I dislike:
- I want the split view of ST where I can simply see the changes and not lose the commit log.
- “see only current branch” is super useful in ST to see only the current branch’s commit log.
(Partially writing this in hopes of someone pointing out ways to do this in Fork)
You can do "see only current branch" with the little filter icon when you hover next to a branch. Although I do find myself getting lost amongst branches more easily compared to Sourcetree, I think there's some difference in how filters are combined that isn't ideal (but I can't remember specifics)
You can also go to View in the menu and click "Filter by active branch" (Ctrl+Shift+A).
Also if you, like me, wanted to blame or view history for specific files there does not seem to be a way by clicking in the GUI to achieve it. But by using Ctrl+P you get the command search and can search for "Blame" or "File history".
I use file history aaaall the time. My favourite feature in Fork.
Thank you!
