I've been a developer for 2 decades. Why people learn git commands is just beyond me, when there are amazing things like Git Graph in VS Code that does it all graphically. Just me?

Haha, I hear you! Git Graph in VS Code is indeed a lifesaver for visual folks. But hey, some of us still enjoy the thrill of typing mysterious commands into a terminal. Keeps us feeling like coding wizards! 😉✨

I've been a Windows user and fan for pretty much all my adult life. I hate CLI's for things I do myself. Sure, I do CLI when I do, say, GH actions and of course they are the only way to script things. I just say that, personally, Windows exists so my brain can forego many of these.

Searched for it. Sounds like another instance of learning dozens of things. This time, keyboard shortcuts. Yes, that's not as bad, so cool. That's, however, one instance, not every instance.

I see. Thanks for the rundown. Sounds like a good experience, if you can get past the learning of the shortcuts. Maybe I'll check it out later. Cheers.
