I known using git on the command line is the preferred method by a lot of Linux users.

But has somebody have successfully installed and used a Git Client with GUI on Debian Based System? (to be precise it is a Raspberry PI 2 with raspbian distro)

I am asking that question, because I didn't find any answer on Web, and a GUI is a most convenient way to manage conflict for example.

As I am using l low powered device, I am also looking for a ligweight client of course

Best regards.

git itself provides a GUI, which in Debian derivatives, including Raspbian, is packaged as git-gui. Install that, and you’ll be able to run git gui to perform most operations. You can also install gitk to explore repositories in a GUI.

To resolve merge conflicts, I quite like Meld, but that pulls in part of GNOME so it doesn’t quite count as lightweight!
