I’m surprised no one here is mentioning the two GUI programs distributed with Git: gitk and git-gui. Just type “git gui” in a repo to bring it up. The biggest thing I like to do with git-gui is staging individual lines from the working copy into the index. This is possible with “git add -i”, but this is one place where a GUI is much more pleasant.
gitk takes similar arguments as “git log” or “git rev-list” does. It’s a pretty ok way to view commit history.
Both of these are kinda quirky tk/tcl programs. But they are available on cross platform, so I only have to learn one GUI for Linux, Windows, and macOS (though the macOS support is the most likely to be broken).
