About GitForce
It is designed to be easy and intuitive to use and yet powerful enough so you don't need to use a command line git. GitForce is written in C# and uses .NET 3.5 framework. The same binary file (“GitForce.exe”) runs as-is on both Windows and Linux operating systems (or any other OS with Mono support). The tool consists of only one executable file and needs no installer – just copy it to a folder of your choice and run it. Consequently, the main requirements are having .NET support (or Mono runtime on Linux) and the actual git command line tool, already installed and working. That said, GitForce is still powerful enough to be used exclusively, without calling up a command line git tool. It likely fully satisfies needs of a great majority of users. I hope that this tool will help many users who are new to git and also to people already familiar with Perforce (a similar source control front-end tool.)

gitg
gitg is a graphical user interface for git. It aims at being a small, fast and convenient tool to visualize the history of git repositories. Besides visualization, gitg also provides several utilities to manage your repository and commit your work. When gitg is installed, you can run gitg from the GNOME menu, or from a terminal by issueing: 'gitg'. Type 'gitg --help' to show the options you can specify on the command line.

GitX-dev
GitX-dev is a fork (variant) of GitX, a long-defunct GUI for the git version-control system. It has been maintained and enhanced with productivity and friendliness oriented changes, with effort focused on making a first-class, maintainable tool for today's active developers. Building on the solid foundation of GitX, GitX-dev provides history browsing of your repository. See a nicely formatted diff of any revision, search based on author or revision subject. Look at the complete tree of any revision, and preview any file in the tree in a text view or with QuickLook. Drag and drop files out of the tree view to copy them to your system. Support for all parameters git rev-list has good performance on large (200+ MB) repositories. GitX-dev is further specialized for software developers, and is used day-to-day in production environments. We consider it to be feature-complete for most git workflows, with only uncommon or potentially-destructive commands requiring git command-line interaction.

Gitbox
One-click commit, push and pull. Unique search in history and undo for Git commands. Powerful commands like rebase, branch reset and cherry picking. And now it works with submodules. Gitbox integrates with popular diff tools such as Xcode FileMerge, Kaleidoscope, Changes, DiffMerge. Use keyboard for ultimate efficiency. Use arrow keys to jump between all the panes and lists. To stage all files, hit Cmd+Shift+Return. To stage/unstage selected files, use "S" shortcut. To pull and push, use "U" and "P" shortcuts. Press Option key to perform fetch. Press Cmd+Shift to force push or rebase. Right click menus contain all the advanced features you might need. For instance, to reset a branch, cherry pick a commit or revert a file. To amend a commit, simply undo it (cmd+Z). You can also undo merge, pull and even push. To find a bug, use color labels. Check out a commit, test it and mark if it works or not. This is a much better and visual approach than git-bisect.

GitX
GitX is a git GUI made for Mac OS X. It currently features a history viewer much like gitk and a commit GUI like git gui. But then in silky smooth OS X style! GitX runs on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Because it uses features like Garbage Collection, you can't compile it on earlier systems. GitX also requires a fairly recent Git, version 1.6.0 and higher are all supported. After starting GitX, you can install the command-line tool through the menu (GitX->Enable Terminal Usage). This will install a “gitx” binary in /usr/local/bin. Detailed history viewer, nice commit GUI, allowing hunk- and line-wise staging. Fast workflow, explore tree of any revision, nice Aqua interface, paste commits to gist.github.com, QuickLook integration. GitX aims to be a graphical wrapper around the most-frequently used git-commands, enabling you to satisfy your daily git needs in one consistent program.
