That's the essence of my problem with Git. I'm one of those developers (I suspect there are many of us) who can use the command line but aren't really comfortable with it. I had concluded that full use of Git probably would require use of the command line, and that meant a whole additional level of anxiety about being able to learn it and use it reliably without an excessive time commitment.

At the risk of falling off-topic: I think it’s very worthwhile as a developer to get comfortable with command-lines. I’d be the last person to disparage GUIs (I don’t use a terminal-based editor like vi or emacs unless forced to) but shells and shell-based tools can really help you out and speed up your job. Learning them is part of broadening your skill-set, just like learning new languages and APIs.

That said, have you tried GitX? It’s a good complement to Xcode’s Git support, especially the forked GitX with more features:
