gitg is a git interface application for GNOME/gtk+. It aims at being a small,
fast and convenient tool to visualize git history. Although primarily a
tool for visualization, gitg also provides several convenient interactions with
git repositories:

 * Quickly clone new repositories
 * Manage basic git user information
 * Create new commits, with precise control over the staging area
   (including per hunk/line staging)

The latest version of gitg is 0.3.1.
