Does GitHub Desktop work with CodeBerg? Or is there an alternative to it that works with CodeBerg? I've been doing gamedev as a hobby and been using GitHub. I like the "GitHub Desktop" app, because I really don't like using the git terminal (I prefer a UI). I've been thinking of moving my repositories to an open source alternative like CodeBerg, the only thing that makes hesitate is having to use the git terminal.

@alemarcati There are lots of graphical Git GUIs out there. Which OS do you use? I myself use the Git Graph plugin in code-server (self-hosted VSCode)…I don't like using Git in the terminal either!
@alemarcati oh hey, I found out Sourcetree (which I used to use back in the day) is available for Windows! That might be a good option to try out: https://www.sourcetreeapp.com

Most clients should work as behind the scenes it's all standard stuff. The one exception is GitHub Desktop which is proprietary, or was when I last checked a few years back.
There's a list of GUI clients here:

I used to use Git Extensions which is free and runs on Windows.
I now use GitKraken because I now work on Windows, Mac, and Linux for different projects and it works on all three. It's also very good at handling stuff if you've got a lot of complex projects with multiple branches, PRs, etc. Problem is that its a paid subscription.
