+    <p>
+      GitUI provides you with the comfort of a git GUI but right in your terminal.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>Features:</p>
+    <ul>
+      <li>Fast and intuitive <em>keyboard-only</em> control.</li>
+      <li>Context-based help (no need to memorize tons of hot-keys).</li>
+      <li>Inspect, commit, and amend changes (including hooks: <code>pre-commit</code>, <code>commit-msg</code>, <code>post-commit</code>, <code>prepare-commit-msg</code>).</li>
+      <li>Stage, unstage, revert and reset files, hunks and lines.</li>
+      <li>Stashing: save, pop, apply, drop, and inspect.</li>
+      <li>Push / fetch to / from remotes.</li>
+      <li>Branch list: create, rename, delete, checkout, and manage remotes.</li>
+      <li>Browse and <em>search</em> the commit log; view diffs of committed changes.</li>
+      <li>Responsive terminal UI.</li>
+      <li>Async git API for fluid control.</li>
+      <li>Submodule support.</li>
+      <li>gpg commit signing with shortcomings (with some limitations).</li>
+    </ul>
