I'm a former windows user and just started using ubuntu. On windows, we had two great softwares: TortoiseSVN and TortoiseGit. Both are so good programs that they allow us to do everything like commit, rollback, merge, view history, browse repos, etc. without knowing a SINGLE cli command.
Now on linux, I'm finding it difficult to do memorize git commands for everything. git push and git remote add is fine. But merging is tedious especially conflict-resolution. In TortoiseGit, it is simply a matter of a few right-clicks!
I've found some crap like git-gui, etc. but the features are nothing comparable to TortoiseGit. Why isn't there any fully-fledged TortoiseGit port on linux systems?

GIT also comes, typically with 2 GUIs. You can run them as follows:
If you're in a GIT workspace that you've cloned locally you can use
gitkto browse it:NOTE: If they aren't installed you can install them, typically, with these package names:
Other options
From the GIT page there are these options that are free for Linux.
