I'm a paying user of Fork, it's my favorite Git GUI, I love it.

However, it "only" supports macOS and Windows. I'm migrating to Linux for my work and home computers, so I haven't used Fork in a while, just so I can get familiar with other tools available on Linux - and, importantly, learning to do more advanced Git operations in the terminal.

So far I still depend on a GUI, mainly VS Code's built-in Git integration and the GitGraph extension. (One of the advantages of this setup is that it also works for remote SSH editing.)

..But I sure miss using Fork. I used it everyday for the last couple years. It does everything I want to do with Git, the UI is familiar and well-designed. I whole-heartedly recommend it.

I see the main developer @DanPristupov is on HN, maybe he'd consider supporting Linux? I totally understand if you won't, since creating the same application for two OSes must be quite difficult already, especially for a small team rather than a company.
