I don't mind SourceTree; it's a great tool to visualize git tree that scratches some itches that gitk doesn't quite. Tree visualization of multiple branches and seamless integration with github/bitbucket are the reason I keep it on my Windows machine.

Granted, most of actual git activities are better done via command line, except for chunk editing.

Just one chagrin I have with sourcetree is the lack of linux integration, despite obvious demand: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/149631/sourcetree-fo...

Just a quick PSA that gitk does support multiple branch tree visualization when started with the 'all' flag i.e 'gitk --all'.

This roughly mirrors the CLI's 'git log --graph --all'.

(not to say that either of these commands have a better UI/UX than SourceTree)

I use git-cola for chunk editing, staging, and to preview the commit's diffs of files. It's open source and works on linux, Windows and OSX.
