Linus himself admitted that he isnt good at UI. Anyway, I think git just wasnt designed to be used directly, but via another UI. For example, I use it within Visual Studio Code, and that covers about 90 percent of usecases, and then Git Extensions can take care of almost everything else. Sometimes cli is needed, though.
- sjellis 10y agoGit Extensions was a fantastic project back when the idea of Microsoft supporting Git would seemed impossible. It made my life better everyday when I was a C# developer. These days, I use the Git CLI on Windows, but VS integration with Git seems good, so I haven't felt the need to install Git Extensions. I've still not yet seen a stand-alone GUI for Git that is better than the one that ships with Git Extensions, though.
