Hi.  EVERY Gnucash entry is DOUBLE ENTRY.

But you've answered your own question.

Debit Assets:Current Assets:Checking Account for $100
Credit the income account of your choice but Income:Gifts Received is
exactly what I would use too!

For Salary, Debit Checking Account, Credit Income:Salary Received.
