Installing SourceTree for Lion

I see I can download SourceTree from the AppleStore. Will this allow me to use Git without dealing with the command line? (I use Lion)

I want to use Git, but expect it wold take me a long time to learn it. How about installing SourceTree? I am trying to verify that I have Git installed, but I am pretty sure installing the latest Xcode with SDK's put Git on my machine as well.

Once I verify it's on there, can I simply install SourceTree?

Thanks.

I guess Git was not installed as I'd hoped, when I installed Xcode.

Am I right to conclude it's not installed? Is there a place I can look to see if the files exist?

I used the most recent update of Xcode just 2 weeks ago...

I can not find "/user/"

Where should I be looking for that?

Silly me, I entered "grep git" and now terminal's hanging. I have not worked with UNIX for years, and worry it may be searching through billions and billions of files...

the folder is /USR/ not /user/

The best terminal command to find is
sudo find / -name "git" -print

There is a great Free App called EasyFind - http://www.devontechnologies.com/products/freeware.html
It is a nice GUI interface on the Unix find command .. better than Spotlight and great for locating system and hidden files.
