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
