Agreed, I use command line for basic tasks, then git-cola for committing for a basic UI.

Before git I used svn, and must say the main thing I'm happy about git is how easy it is to just push a repository wherever, and GitHub having perfect timing to help it become a staple (at the time they didn't have private repos, but was still good).

I have a whole bunch of shell aliases for my day to day use, mostly around branches (where I work we use GitHub, and opensource projects who use git use branches for PRs/MRs/etc).
