Git clients for browsing git repository on Ubuntu

Nothing can replace the work with git in the console, but sometimes it's convenient to look at the repository from a bird's eye view. In this we can get help from different gui-clients.

There are a sufficient number of clients for different operating systems.
You can see them on this link - https://git-scm.com/downloads/guis.

There is a standard client on Ubuntu - gitk. But I didn't like it because it doesn't allow me to look at the entire repository. Only within one branch.

The following client - gitg - seemed to me quite good (look at the bellow picture).

You can test it. Install it on your unix system:

$ sudo apt-get install gitg

That's all. Go to the git repository, run next command and enjoy :)

$ gitg
