What is Fork?
Fork brings Git repository work into a desktop interface. Its commit list shows branch history alongside the selected commit's details, while the file tree, history and blame views help you trace changes. Use it to fetch, pull and push, switch branches, manage tags and stashes, or stage only the lines you want to include in a commit.
For more involved changes, Fork offers a built-in merge-conflict resolver and visual interactive rebase to edit, reorder or squash commits. Git LFS, submodules and Reflog support are also listed by the publisher.
Fork is paid software with a free evaluation, not a freeware Git client. The publisher lists a one-time license for one user on up to three machines at a time. This entry links to the Windows 2.21.1 EXE currently linked on the publisher homepage; it does not treat Softonic's different version listing as proof of the publisher package. The screenshot is the publisher's Windows UI illustration, not a capture of this installer running.
