My point of view: - a "good" GUI is a GUI that integrates well with a desktop - a "good" GUI is a GUI that reuse an already existing/known metaphor The most difficult is that raw Git is "stupid content tracker". So, a complete GUI will expose too many features to end-user: - which workflow: pull, push, email, ssh, ... - topic branches: rebasing or merging - and what about higher level feature: stash, stg, top git... So, reading this, possible good GUIs are plugins for IDE with smallest Git support. 2010/1/23 André Harms : > Is there anybody who agrees or disagrees?
