What helped me make Git click was learning how to use SourceTree. It has intuitive UI (compared to GitHub Desktop) accompanied by a pretty graph of commits. Can't recommend it enough for "visual" type of people like me.
- olivierlacan 10y agoI still use Tower (https://www.git-tower.com/mac/ https://www.git-tower.com/mac/) to this day and despite being proficient with the git CLI there are many operations that I much prefer doing in Tower. Things like line-by-line staging, resolving merge conflicts, cherry picking, etc. All feasible in the command line, but just much easier to reason with and operate visually.
