I found 'git gui' too just before I read your mail. I didn't expect much from a Tk app, but it works for me too. Simple to understand and very lightweight. I have the impression the older the GUI libs are, the better they work with X11 remote display.

I also download lazygit, a Go TUI program with mouse support. Looks good too.

I'm sure some people love magit, but emacs (or vi) is not my thing.

and it's not very good at that.
