just wanted to add that git's GUIs are the first GUIs I've seen that are not merely props for the CLI-challenged.
They serve a purpose, and they do it well. I highly recommend http://nathanj.github.com/gitguide/ if you want to quickly become familiar with most of the stuff they can do. And that doesn't go into "git gui blame your.file.name", which is an absolute marvel. That and gitk are **powerful** especially when you're doing detective work on older code and/or trying to get familiar with something quickly. You want to jump back and forth to older versions, see what changes were made, even if the changes were made in a different file and the code moved here *after* all that was done (that is, the interesting changes did not happen in this file). Don't miss the URLs in "git gui blame", and, in gitk, try The tortoise type stuff can only do the mundane actions like commit and diff. The feature set of git is so different that if you contort it into those tools commonly known interface, you'll be limiting yourself. Regards, Sitaram PS: all this works fine in Windows too...
