This article will showcase the process of configuring Sublime Merge on Ubuntu-based systems. It is a Git client which displays commits, branches, and the differential of the latest modifications in a Git repository. Not only that, but it also offers the functionality to push and pull modifications from its user interface. Sublime Merge also features Serge, a command-line utility, enabling users to handle Git repositories from the command line.

Sublime Merge makes understanding a repository intuitively effortless by clearly illustrating its key components, including remote and local branches, the state of staged and unstaged changes, and a comparison of a file before and after staging. Additionally, it has an extremely user-friendly interface for easily pushing, pulling, adding, and committing to and from branches. In sum, it simplifies the process of repository management by being both informative and aesthetically pleasing.
