I tested a bunch of Git GUIs. My requisites:

- Open source (and free) - Multiplataform

The one with the best usability was Git Extensions: https://github.com/gitextensions/gitextensions

It is somewhat old ugly, and open a little too much of dialogs, but the workflow really works. It guides you to make the right thing.

A great plus is that it already comes with Kdiff3, a great open source 3 way diff open source program.

After trying many, my favourite is Git Extensions [0] (despite the name it's also a stand alone application) for Windows and Linux [1]

[1] https://github.com/gitextensions/gitextensions/wiki/Git-Exte... (2.49, although I just tried 2.50.01 and it seems to work too)

edit: Linux version is a little bit glitchy with UI texts, when pushing to a repository that have commits ahead, the two invisible options are "pull with rebase" and "pull with merge" respectively.

Some (if not most) GUI Git tools should do this, e.g. I personally use Git Extensions[1] which shows history and diff side-by-side.

For what it's worth, features like that (along with, say, line-by-line staging) are the reason why I usually use a GUI client and only drop down to the command line when necessary.

Command line most of the time, with occasional use of the Git Extensions GUI client for diffs, and for committing specific hunks at a time (https://github.com/gitextensions/gitextensions)
