(I think it's a mistake to stick to GUI: the concepts are easier to
understand with Git commands IMHO")

But there are nice GUIs for Git too. The "official" one is git gui,
distributed with Git. I do not like the visual aspect a lot, but it has
a very good coverage of Git's functionalities. Otherwise, have a look at

  https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/InterfacesFrontendsAndTools#Graphical_Interfaces

git-cola is a good one.

Another reason to migrate is that bzr's developpement has stopped :-(.

gitorious.org runs with free software (you can host a gitorious at home
if you want). github.com is probably the most popular hosting site, it
uses a lot of free software (and GitHub contributes a lot to free
software), but the complete solution is closed-source (you'll have to
pay if you want to run it at home, and won't be able to modify it).

There are tons of alternatives. See e.g.
