Commandline with the occasional usage of [tig]( https://github.com/jonas/tig ) Once every few weeks I'll use [Tower]( http://www.git-tower.com/ ) for quickly looking up old commits

+1 for tig, which is an awesome tool. I tend towards it mostly for walking through commit history, but it also works very nicely for staging files selectively (and is very good for selecting individual hunks in a larger changeset).

Fugitive + command line.

I generally use the command line, with mostly two exceptions: diffs and log histories in the IDE.

Command line most of the time, with occasional use of the Git Extensions GUI client for diffs, and for committing specific hunks at a time (https://github.com/gitextensions/gitextensions)

I use hg-git. Because "hg addremove *; hg commit; hg push;" is so much simpler than the one letter alternatives in git.
