Question

I am looking for an app or piece of software similar to Atlassian SourceTree for Linux (Ubuntu). SourceTree is a GUI frontend for Git and Mercurial, designed with ease of use in mind.

I know that SourceTree is not going to be ported to Linux soon, so what are the alternatives that I can use, that have similar functionality to SourceTree?

SourceTree specs:

I apologize if I was unclear.

I need support for Git. I use Git-flow as well well yes I want an easy-to-use It needs to support DVCS as well. The rest of the feature, i.e. integrating with my favourite editor, would be a bonus, but is not required.

Pretty much I need a tool that I can use to commit, Push, Create Pull requests, need ability to rebase, Git-flow is a must, Merge branches, and I must be able to stash my work...

Explanation / Answer

I have been using SmartGit. It costs 80 USD, but is free for non-commercial use. It is Java-based, so it can be used on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Along with support for all typical Git features, it supports Git-flow and has optional integration with several online Git and Hg (Mercurial) hosting services, including Github and Bitbucket.
