what is the difference between Git Extensions and Git GUI?

[dever]

they both appear to support the basic functionality of pulling, commiting and pushing (although Git EXT is not working for me while Git GUI *is* working)

Git Ext says it is pulling or pushing but it never finishes and i just abort.

Git GUI is part of the Git installation, along with Git Bash. Git Extensions is built on top of Git. Please provide additional details to your problem.

If i use GIT EXT do I NOT need to use Git GUI? What is "Stash
Changes"? is that staging?

when i tried to perform a pull on a remote from Git EXT it says it
starts but it does not actually do anything, nor does it stop on its
own. eventually you have to abort. it does not prompt me for my
remote credentials either, the way Git GUI does.

Correct. If you use git extensions then you do not need to use the
default git GUI, but it's still there if for some strange reason you
need it.

In your pull issue I would pop open the git bash and do "GIT PULL
remote". The console tends to give you more verbose progress updates
and errors if there are any.

No, the stash is this feature:

The stash basically creates a temporary work-in-progress commit while
you go work on something else. Staging, on the other hand, is when you
use the commit dialog to select which changes actually get included in
the new commit. The selected changes are "staged".
