Ye olde land o' many roundabouts
After moving fully to Linux Mint Cinamon 19.1 from a dual boot setup with Win8.1 Pro at the beginning of the year. I've pretty much got all the apps and utilities covered now, either with the same or similar Linux equivalents. The main two that I'm struggling with are:

- Git client.
- File / Folder compare utility.

I've tried Meld as a file/folder compare tool - it's fine but has limited options and gets rather slow with large files or large folders. I used to use ExamdiffPro on Windows, unfortunatly there's no Linux version.

For the Git/Mercurial client - I used to use Sourcetree on Windows, there is a MacOS version, so you'd have thought there would be a Linux verion, but no such luck!

Wondered if anyone had any good tips for suitable replacements on Linux?
 
GitKraken does look visually appealing, though they do charge 49 bucks for commercial use..
I've been trying out PHPStorm on a free trial which does have an inbuilt Git client - though I think I'd prefer a separate app, as I often still prefer SublimeText as a code editor. I'm still debating whether to invest in PHPStorm or not.
Will take a further look at GitKraken so cheers for the suggestion!
