Powerful gitk/gitg alternative?

I am searching for a graphical git repository viewer. Gitk is nice and distributed alongside git itself, gitg is a (in my opinion) better alternative to gitk but both have a lack of features (searching for commits/tags/..., switiching/configuring the representation of time(zones) and so on).

As I am doing all git stuff directly in the terminal I do not need some overloaded GUI who tries to do all the magic of git, I just want an efficient viewer for graphical representation of my files, commits, branches, tags and so on with more features than gitk/gitg.

Any suggestions?

Edit: Most times I'm working on linux.

Is there a GUI for git?

Git comes with built-in GUI tools for committing (git-gui) and browsing (gitk), but there are several third-party tools for users looking for platform-specific experience.

What is gitk?

Gitk is a graphical repository browser. It was the first of its kind. It can be thought of as a GUI wrapper for git log . It is useful for exploring and visualizing the history of a repository. It's written in tcl/tk which makes it portable across operating systems.

I don't think this question really has its place here, but if you want recommendations, I can link you to Fork or SourceTree if you're on Windows or Mac, or GitExtensions if you're on Windows.

Edit : As it seems like people are still looking at that answer, I can now also recommend GitKraken.
