Hint #0. Have you read release notes?


Hint #1. "git-commit" is spelled "git commit" these days.  


Hint #2. Shouldn't "git-gui" now be spelled "git gui"?


Solution. "git gui"

The point of using a GUI is to never have to deal with command lines or
other plaintext geek jargon making your eyes glaze over.

Thanks for the "git gui" info!

I've read the release notes, but it didn't occur
to me that "git-gui" is part of "git" --- I assumed
it would be, like "gitk", a different program (which
just be chance is using the same naming convention
like "git-clone" etc.).

Thanks

Oliver

Well, it really is a separate program, just like gitk is.

But its name being "git-gui" and not "gitgui" is not by
accident.  I chose it to fit into the "git foo" naming
scheme used by the core tools, so it fit better into the
overall user experience.  Ditto with "git citool".
