Thanks for the kind words :-)  I'm glad you like it. (I'm the git-cola author)

I noticed that you were asking about creating new repositories so I recently added that feature to the File menu (FIle -> New Repository...). That feature was previously only available in the startup dialog that is activated when the launcher icon is clicked (or "git-cola --prompt") so you probably found it there.

I'll probably be doing an official release later this month; you won't see it until the PPAs and packagers pickup the new release, though.

If you're interested in trying it out I often point people to its the Git repository -- the project is setup such that it can run directly out of its source tree without needing to "make" or install anything. Your machine has all of git-cola's dependencies available since you've already installed its deb package. All it takes to run a development version is to clone the repo and run e.g. $HOME/src/git-cola/bin/git-cola (assuming you've cloned the project to $HOME/src/git-cola).

I keep the "master" branch very stable so it's quite safe to run that version, especially if you're interested in the latest/greatest.

Best, -- David
