Install Git Cola.

It's a powerful Git GUI with a keyboard-centric workflow. You can do this completely through keyboard shortcuts (or a mouse if you prefer).

Typically:
	$ git cola
	ctrl-k: focus the status widget
	j,k: navigate up/down the file list
	ctrl-s: stage files
	ctrl-u: revert files to index
	ctrl-j: focus the diff widget to operate at the line/hunk level
	j, k: move the cursor up/down lines, hold shift to select lines
	s: to stage selection, or current hunk if no lines are selected
	ctrl-u: revert the selection, or current hunk, to match the index
