Pros: Fork is a very solid Git tool with some very nice features. The blame tool in particular is very helpful when trying to debug errors or crashes in software development. That said many of these benefits will not be applicable to all developers or development styles. The performance of the application is solid and the UI is of a decent quality.
Cons: High entry price and no free versions are my main complaints, this tool is not well suited for smaller non-profit, volunteer or freeware groups with its upfront costs when compared to alternatives I have reviewed. Additionally, it is a more technical Git tool, it is not well suited for developers who are adept at more technical code tasks and setups as compared to competitors. Similarly, the UI is not designed as well as those in other Git tools such as GitHub or GitLab.
Overall: Overall, Fork is a solid Git tool, that said its usage scenarios are more limited than GitHub and GitLab and is not appropriate for all developers. As someone who has helped other members in my freeware project to setup and configure Git tools, Fork was by far the hardest of the 3 for less technically savvy members to setup. Additionally, the upfront cost and lack of a free option as compared to other tools detracts from the usefulness of this tool in some scenarios.
