Well, to be fair, the title is not 'Git Is Simple'. I'm just starting to really use Git and after reading this it seems a little simpler to me. Personally, I think Git is relatively simple as far as version control systems go, it's forgetting 5 years worth of knowledge of SVN and the nice visual tools that support it that is hard.

Have you tried Tower (http://www.git-tower.com/ http://www.git-tower.com/)? I used it briefly for a small project and thought it was nice, but didn't really have time to get to know it that well.
- geeksam 15y agoI make daily use of GitX for visualizing the state of a repo, and it's got a pretty nice UI for building commits as well. (It's Mac-only, though.) Apparently there are several forks that have added new functionality on top of the version I use, but I'm comfortable enough at the command line now that I haven't bothered checking any of them out.
