Git GUI recommendation for Linux users?

Hi, I don't use Windows or Mac. My laptop runs Ubuntu Linux. Do you have Git Desktop software recommendations for Linux? I'm looking into Git Cola, otherwise, I may just use git at the command line.

thanks in advance

Hey Erik and others with the same question, I personally used GitHub Desktop on Ubuntu before with no problem. Hopefulty this page can help you get it installed and working correctly.

To be honest though, I have since switched to using the command line. To me personally, it is much simpler and straight forward.

Thanks Travis! I will give it a whirl. I tried a couple other GUIs, but command line git has been better so far.
