Come on, you're on HN afterall.
I personally work a lot better with git when using a GUI. It's faster for me to click-click-click the files I want to include in my commit, type up my message in a box and hit commit than it is to stop and think about adding each file and the syntax I need to use when commiting and should I push as well for this project?
On top of that, the client interface I have is in-built diff that makes it easy to navigate files and folders for differences with colour-coded boxes and icons to quickly tell what it is I'm doing in this commit.
That's not to say I don't understand the value of CLI tools and I don't love some of them a lot more than any GUI counterpart, but different tools call for different ways of use. And for me and git - git CLI is only for headless boxes, automated tools and servers I'm working on.
