I use Git GUI and Gitk, which are included out-of-the-box in Windows
and are in separate packages on Debian/Ubuntu. Gitk is for browsing
the DAG (incl. filters by various conditions, e.g. only revisions
which modify a given file) and manipulating branches (branch, reset,
cherry-pick) while Git GUI is a commit tool (good for selective
staging).

Git GUI can also act as a frontend to git blame (when invoked as git
gui blame <filename>), but I usually just use vc-annotate from Emacs
for this.
