On: Git add -p

Is it me or does it seem like a lot of people seem to avoid using GUI's for git ? I mean git-cola, gitk, gitx, sourcetree etc are all great ways to manage your git repos and don't need complicated command line operations and make your job much faster/easier.

Well, I've got to be able to use git on Windows, Mac, and Linux, the last two possibly over SSH. Is there a GUI that would work well in all those environments? Someone just mentioned tig, which might be able to do the job, but I haven't tested it out yet.

You could always SSH +x into your server and run a GUI client that way.

Who says people don't use it? I use it because command line is kind of non-customized.

But being close to your CLI is never bad. After all, the tool might comprehend git badly. Git CLI rarely makes mistakes about Git.

I am comfortable with the Git command line and SSH into my development environment.
