I utilize git gui and gitk

But these make each step clear what is happening. I have not used visual s code, but when people utilize different GUIs I find they still don't know what is happening, and I can't find a way to tell the without jumping into one of these other tools.

Graphical tools have the unfortunate effect of being proactive instead of reactive. You go to push or switch branches and it starts asking how much of your local filesystem you want to keep.

The command line is simple. If you don't use --force your changes are safe.

This is true, hence knowing what your doing is very important
