What are some good alternatives to GitHub Desktop for Linux?

If you’re using Cachy, you can access the AUR easily with Paru. GitHub Desktop is available there, natively supported thanks to shiftkey. Here’s the link: aur.archlinux.org/packages/github-desktop. If the AUR isn't your thing, you can also grab it through Flatpak from your preferred software store!

There's actually a Linux fork of GitHub Desktop! You can find it in the KDE Discover app store. The repo is here: github.com/shiftkey/desktop. It's a good option if you want a GUI similar to what you had on Windows.

Honestly, learning to use git in the terminal is a solid choice. It gives you full control over version management, and you'll find plenty of resources to help if you get stuck!

Definitely look into getting a grasp on terminal git commands; they'll be super helpful as you dive deeper into Git. Besides that, many IDEs like IntelliJ and VSCode come with built-in version control features, which could be a huge time-saver!

You might also want to check out alternatives like GitKraken, Git Cola, or SmartGit. But honestly, if your IDE has a git GUI, like in VSCode or IntelliJ, that can be more than enough! IntelliJ's integration is really impressive.
