Using GUI clients for Git
The earlier section exclusively discussed how to use Git from the command line. These commands can also be accessed through a graphical user interface (GUI). There are many GUI clients available for Git, for instance, gitk on Linux (http://gitk.sourceforge.net/) or Github Desktop, available for Mac and Windows 7 or later (https://desktop.github.com/). The free Python IDEs, such as the community edition of PyCharm, provide an easy-to-use GUI integration for Git and other version control systems. PyCharm provides a context menu integration for Git commands. For example, right-clicking on a file in the IDE will give you a context menu option to add or commit the file to a repository.
