It spit out vague error messages, requiring repeating the action in the CLI to see git's actual, specific problem. 2. There's no option to do the initial clone via ssh, which was a problem because http was failing to download the full repository. 3…

I've found Sourcetree to be powerful, simple and beautiful. It is also clear and good for learning.
