Hello, Here are a few reasons why you should try Git Cola: - Git Cola does not hide the power of Git. - Git Cola extends Git in the UNIX spirit by providing a convenient frontend to common Git commands and operations. - Git Cola's Diff editor is focused around the Git-centric idea of creating small commits through partial staging. - It has a keyboard-centric interface with vim-style navigation hotkeys. - Git Cola is Free software and has the same license as Git. - Python + Qt is easy to hack https://github.com/git-cola/git-cola https://git-cola.github.io/downloads.html -- David
