Magit is the only thing that allows me to make enough sense of git to use it.

I've been using Emacs for years but only started using Magit this year, what a fantastic Git client.

It makes everything trivial to do, even rebases become safe and friendly. Its definitely a git client on a league of its own.

Have you tried tig? http://jonas.nitro.dk/tig/ Could not use git without it anymore.

tig supports only a small subset of the magit functionality.

It's useful if you don't have an emacs at hand and quickly want to explore a git repository, but that's about it.
