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.

My inbox got fediversized, fantastic feeling.

No, I find typing faster than clicking and I've been using git for so long the commands are second nature to me.

What I prefer most about having a UI is the better sense of overview over the repository and it's branches.

I find, when compared to people I've worked with that prefer plain git, that I'm much quicker at finding certain changes or seeing what is in which branch with GitExtensions.

Learn some keyboard shortcuts! I don’t use the mouse for most interactions in Sublime Merge but the visual presentation and occasional mouse usage makes it much nicer than the command line, imo
