I'm sort of fascinated by this, but out of all the git GUIs I've tried on Mac except for GitX work backwards from how I want/need them to work. I live at the command line, but I do like having a nice GUI for staging commits and viewing history.

GitX works perfectly for me in this regard. It's simply `gitx -c` from the current directory to open a nice GUI for staging files (or pieces of files) and composing a commit message or `gitx` to view the history of the current repo. And it's fast, so launching it does not get in my way too much.

All of the other ones I've tried have had poor command line integration and wanted me to tell them about my repos ahead of time. I guess maybe that reflects the needs/workflow of the majority of people who want a nice OS X GUI for git, but it doesn't work at all for me.

Just sort of interesting.

Thank you, that's exactly what I've wanted! Just a GUI for the commands where a mouse is useful and UIs based on prompts or ncurses fall down.

I've never found myself wanting "iTunes for your git repos" nor could I figure out why anyone would ever want that.

"iTunes for your git repos" is a great way to describe some of this software. Well said.
