Magit (Emacs) deserves a mention here: https://magit.vc/. It's the epitome of text based "gui" for any git operation. It's so good that any real Git GUI also doesn't come close.

I can't recommend Magit enough to anyone. Whenever I try people see me as crazy when I tell them what I do with git with a breeze. Things like committing are of course easier and such. But all the other things. Oh man. Magit have entirely changed my understanding of git.

Does anybody have a comment on the similar vimagit?

Yeah it's probably the best way to interactively stage only changes you want to commit (`add --patch`)
