About Turtle
Turtle provides a command line tool, which opens
a dialog for some git actions, i.e. commit, log, etc.
It also provides a plugin for Nautilus (and other file managers),
which adds emblems and context menu entries.
If you use the flatpak version, you have to install the Nautilus plugin manually.

- Prefer the command line? With Flatpak you can install and update it with: flatpak install flathub de.philippun1.turtle
