You can set aliases for CLI.
I own sublime merge because it was cheap when I upgraded to ST4, but never use it. It's not bad or anything, but honestly the CLI is more convenient to use (and all the GUIs I've used have a lot of clicking involved). I don't know that you're going to find something better than the CLI, especially given your requirement ow "comfortable to use with only a keyboard".

I used SmartGit until they tried forcing me to pay. Now I use Sourcetree and the Git tools built into Jetbrains IDEs. But there are still some operations I prefer to do from the command line because I screw up more often with GUIs.
Tig is a pretty nice terminal gui
