I use both - to me the big advantage of getting used to GIT CLI is that you learn the tools to handle uncommon operations and automate tasks, which the GUI doesn't give you. When you need to start piping stuff through grep, for example.
- cytzol 9y agoGUI user here. Genuine question: when would you need to pipe stuff through grep? I get it would be a rare situation, but I can't think of one.
- Pxtl 9y agoWe have a naming convention that feature branches are named "feature-[descriptionOfFeature]" here and I wanted to bulk-delete all the merged feature branches that developers had left dangling, without killing the release branches and the like. Grepping helped there. Like I said, super-rare situation.
