I highly recommend using SourceTree. It's quite slow, but at least it is understandable.

Command-line git just sucks. Partly because the interface is just badly written and inconsistent (Mercurial is much better for example), and partly because version control just fundamentally benefits from a graphical interface, in the same way that a web browser would for example.

Only a madman would use wget to browse the web (yes I know about him). You'd have to be nearly as mad to want to use the git command line.




There is incredible power in the git command line and to simply write it off is silly. If you take the time to learn a bit about how it works under the hood it makes a lot more sense. When you truly understand that it is just a directed graph, along with blobs, and trees. All of which are represented by hashes. Dig in because your seriously missing out just using a GUI.
