The current 'standard' or most common tuning is G'CEA also called Reentrant Tuning. Most of the music you find on the internet is based on this tuning.

It has evolved over time, for the most part as music styles have changed. There are at least 3 other tunings that are used by musicians on their ukukleles, including the Slack String tuning, the Low G tuning and the Canadian tuning.
The most common is GCEA, with ADF#B being the next (The second means the same chord shapes can be used but chords played will be a full tone higher in pitch). There are many other tunings, with D G B E - normally being used on a baritone uke. once again the same chord shapes can be used but once again will produce a different pitch.

Many players use their own tunings - too numerous to mention.

Any guitarist should find they can play a uke, the commonest tunings (above) are the same as the first four strings of a guitar with standard tuning - but just in a different key.
