Is anyone here using a GUI for git? If yes - which one and why? (szmer.info)

I ask because I like console, but at the same time have difficulties remembering all the commands. I'd like to try a GUI that is comfortable to use with only a keyboard.

I haven’t found anything better than Sublime Merge when it comes to replacing git’s interactive staging (git add —patch) with a more friendly UX. The closest thing would be IntelliJ’s change sets feature but, in my experience, it’s much less useful because it still hunks lines near each other. In Sublime you have line by line selection to stage stuff.

It helps a lot when reorganizing commits at review time and before doing a merge. It’s also incredibly fast.
