This looks more interesting than most Git abstraction layers.

The only problem is that I'm going to need to learn Git for real eventually, and for simple everyday stuff, I could just use Git cola that is GUI and doesn't require learning it.

Git is easy enough for basic use cases, it's just that there's what seems like nonsensical inconsistent command syntax. I'm not sure how much of a problem that is for people who use the CLI all the time though.

If it is still an annoyance, this could be useful for CLI fans, but I still think people should learn Git before, or at the same time as, their first programming language.

If you don't like Git and VCS in general you probably don't like other modern software practices...
