Isn't github a good GUI already?

"A good GUI" judgement largely relies on personal preferences, so I don't have an answer to this. Objectively, GitHub works only online whereas one of important feature of Git is to enable and support complete offline workflows. Best regards, -- Mateusz Łoskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net

Another option Github for Windows <http://windows.github.com/>. Downloaded it and played with it a while, so you'll have to try it for yourself.

I tried this one and was pleased when doing some patches/PR for cppnetlib which is hosted on github. It's simple and clear. However, several things annoyed me, I don't remember exactly what in the interface, but I stopped as soon as I realized that some command I was doing regularly in some other tools were not directly implemented. It was last year, the tool was very young, so they might have improved since then. However, as it can't manage mercurial, I will not use it daily that's for sure. Most of my projects are in mercurial, only some (the open source ones on github or the ones that needs potentially complex manipulations) are in git.

Well, technically, that's cross-platform...with 2 platforms only :D But yeah it's not yet available on linux.
A note on my own experience: 0. First, I aim to be comfy with git command, if not, then I will never understand git really.
I did that too using books, but as soon as I got into complex usage, I stoped because I didn't feel the need. I expect a good ui tool to provide me ready-to-use command line context to do some receipes if necessary.
1. Then, I use SourceTree where I can to complement git command (branches visualisation, etc.) 2. I use Qt Creator with its Git plugin which is nothing more than git command proxy, hence equivalent to git command.

I didn't try this one. noted. By the way, personally I don't like having plugins into IDE to manage repository. One reason is that I like to separate the time for coding (in the IDE) and the time for reviewing the code (in the DSVC ui tool) in particular if both tools takes the same full screen, so that I can be more critical to my own code (I don't have coworkers to review my code currently :/ ) The other reason is that most IDE plugins for managing repos I've used (in Eclipse and VS) tend to not provide enough commands or be very idiomatic and less flexible to setup your own team-specific workflow. But that's obviously minor things.
