I still use Atom purely for its simple easy git UI (while coding in VSCode). VSCodes git UI, and all others I've seen, are a disaster in comparison. I want a simple, easy UI - in atom its exactly that. If I need more I'll just type it in the CLI. I wish there was something else I could use that's like this.

I've never used a better git UI than the one built into JetBrains' IDEs (though I always switch it from appearing in the sidebar to appearing in a popup window, like how it used to). They could honestly package it as a standalone app and it'd justify its own existence

The merge conflict resolver is so intuitive and easy to use. I have colleagues who come to me for fixing merge conflicts even though I'm pretty mediocre at git in general :p My secret is I do it in IntelliJ

Interesting to find that I'm not the only person doing this! I also just hop to Atom if I need to do something more involved with git

I typically do this when tidying up / amending >1 commit at a time (anything I can't do easily with git rebase interactive mode), or to resolve merge conflicts.
