The top GUI apps for Git are memory-efficient enough but using Git directly from the command line is the most memory-friendly your operations can be.

Working from the CLI is by far more memory-friendly than using a GUI app and a good sample scenario is Git.

It is, therefore, no wonder why master programmers prefer to use CLI-based editors e.g. Working in a distraction-free mode already moves productivity up a notch and the fact that you’re working with just your keyboard most of the time improves both your workflow and morale.Ī developer friend told me once, “ the less often you touch your mouse while working, the more productive you will be“. This means that if storage space is an issue for you then you are better off using CLI-based apps without the worry of losing productivity. Command line-based apps require less storage space because they lack the “ flesh” that GUI apps have, no matter how lightweight they are. Owing to this fact, the CLI will always be more verbose in terms of option sets and usability. In fact, before features are implemented as GUI options, the CLI aspect is sorted out first. If you’ve ever built a GUI app before you would know that every option you see in the app window is tied to a command that runs in the background.
