I ask because I like console, but at the same time have difficulties remembering all the commands. I'd like to try a GUI that is comfortable to use with only a keyboard.

My inbox got fediversized, fantastic feeling.

I use Git Tower and I love it. I'm surprised I don't see it mentioned here.

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".

Tower on Mac is excellent, tig in terminal is also very powerful once you read the help/man pages!

I use GitHub Desktop - offered by GitHub themself. Its a GUI application where you can fetch, push, pull etc. But mostly just basic github "commands".
