I ask because I like console, but at the same time have difficulties remembering all the commands. I'd like to try a GUI that is comfortable to use with only a keyboard.
[edit]
My inbox got fediversized, fantastic feeling.

45% SourceTree
45% CLI
10% TortoiseGit

The repository I work in is huge, old, and the folder structures are wide and deep. It is normal to modify tens of files in almost as many folders for a single feature change.

SourceTree for managing staged files and committing.

CLI for pull, branch switching, and searching.

TortoiseGit for showing the log or blame of individual files and folders.
