(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. > * I'm very comfortable with bzr (it has awesome GUI utility) but I > decided to leave it because of its technical weakness by comparing to > git. Another reason to migrate is that bzr's developpement has stopped :-(. > * Most git hosting I'm interesting in is gitorious.org because it's > from open source family (that's what I read about) may you correct me > if I'm wrong? 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. https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/GitHosting -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/
