Re: Survey: Git (G)UIs

[Trevor Daniels]

I learnt git on Windows under MinGW with git gui and gitk, quite successfully.  
In fact the visualisation of branches in particular was very helpful.  And I 
still use git gui for fetches, merges, commits and branches.  I still use gitk 
to visualise the overall branch structure, to browse commits, to cherry-pick 
and to reset - much easier to see exactly what you are doing and to avoid 
mistakes.  I use command line just for pushing and rebasing, and git am and git 
apply for downloaded or emailed patches.  I do exactly the same even when 
working under Linux (although this happens rather rarely nowadays).

It is quite hard to remember all the command line options at my age :( so for 
me a gui is very helpful.
