I made do with my IDE, even after getting a developer job. Outside shenanigans involving a committed password, and the occasional empty commit to trigger a build job on GitHub without requiring a new review to be approved, I still don't use the commandline a lot.

But it's true, if you managed to commit and push, you are OK. Even the IDE will make fixing most merges simple.

These threads drive home the point that a GUI of some sort is far superior for most users. I use git kraken, but in the past I've used git extensions as well, and I take advantage of so much more git has to offer than pretty much everyone here.

I swear people just want the cli to be better so they claim it is, but I really don't get how. Especially for quickly scanning the repo, doing diffs, commiting partial files, history, blame, etc.
