As GUIs go, SourceTree is pretty likeable for both Git and Mercurial IMO.

I don't know what commit^2 is, but if you're trying to get previous commits, you can use things like HEAD~3 or HEAD~~~.

@Kyralessa There's no tilde equivalent to commit^2

| Feb 19, 2013 at 23:11 | comment | added | Kyralessa | I've been using Git since March 2011 (before you wrote this answer), and nothing told me I had to use MinGW. (I don't even know what MinGW is.) msysgit and regular Windows command line integration was available then, or I probably wouldn't have used Git. | |
| Feb 19, 2013 at 21:21 | comment | added | TheLQ | @Kyralessa This answer was written almost a year and a half ago, so things have probably changed. IIRC, all the documentation and the program told me that I had to use MinGW. It is an emulation of command prompt and does poorly. What if I forced you to use windows command prompt on Linux or a Mac just to use my special program? | |
| Feb 19, 2013 at 21:05 | comment | added | Kyralessa | I'm sort of baffled by this line: "MinGW isn't Windows Command Prompt, and just acts different. It's crazy that this is the only way to work with Git." I use the msysgit installation and option 2, to run from the Windows command line. It works fine. There are a few things that don't work (like the caret, a line-continuation character in DOS) but there are alternatives to those (like the tilde) that work fine. I'm not a command-line enthusiast (or at least I wasn't before I started learning Git) but using Git with the command line is really easy. Am I missing something? | |

| Oct 1, 2011 at 22:14 | comment | added | Arkh | I would like to add that tortoiseGIT is a lot better now when you want to use GIT on windows. You still have to deal with the SSL keys and the installation process is not smooth, but when done it works easily. | |
