Parent article: Giggle: A Git GUI

I use both git and mercurial, and when I am using git the thing I really miss is TortiseHG. TortiseHG is fast for browsing repositories, it is easy to stage changes visually during commit, and lots of other nice things. TortiseHG is better than all of the git guis I have tried, plus it has tons of documentation.

I also like that you can use TortiseHG from the command line (at least on linux). I don't even install the nautilus plugin, just use it straight from the command line.

Maybe someone should look into generalizing TortiseHG to work with both mercurial and git.

Looks like that is windows only; I am looking for something that works on linux. Also, I am not looking for shell integration, just a gui that can be launched from the command line.

TortiseHG is not a port of TrotiseSVN, they just have similar names while it looks like TortiseSVN is just a port of tortisesvn.

They have been planning to add git support to RabbitVCS (a Nautilus extension which behaves a lot like TortoiseSVN) for a while.

It doesn't look like the TortoiseGit project includes a Gnome extension or CLI toolset, though.
