User friendly CLI for git

Question

I'm looking for something that wraps git by providing an easy and consistent command-line interface (CLI) while fulfilling the following:

• the CLI should use consistently the same names for the same things, i.e. not interchanging words like index, cache, stage or staging area.
• fix some weird anomalies in the interface, like log and diff interpreting the refs passed as arguments differently.
• not necessarily be backward compatible, we have the native CLI for that (similar to apt vs apt-get)

Does something like this already exist?

Answer 1

One thing that you could try, but may not like or may love, is using Mercurial, (hg), as a git client via the hg-git plug in.

Mercurial tends to be much more consistent and user friendly than git, (in my personal opinion).

Answer 2

Try Easy Git, which is meant to be a newbie-friendly interface to Git, or the four similar projects linked to at the bottom of that page.
