Comment by Tiago Amaro on "A good GUI for GIT?"

I would recommend http://gitup.co/

I never had huge experience with this, since when I met it, I already knew git CLI well enough to get me around with just a terminal and sometimes viewing the tree in gitk with its branches.

I think that a good GUI for beginners is an excellent learning tool to get what's going on behind the scenes, and GitUp project has exactly this goal: to ease up the confusion behind what's a push/pull/remote/local/distributed/etc concepts that you just read and don't make sense (at the beginning).

IMHO, I would recommend the following:

Beginner: GitUp + studying other tools mentioned here. Understand what's going on
Intermediate: SourceTree, GitX or any other GUI. Those won't do anything too fancy for you, but will help you view what's going on and move branches here and there
Pure terminal + git logs, reflogs etc. In this level, you'll feel exactly like the Matrix movie. Things running on your screen, and you'll just simply understand what's going on.
