I'm also not tired of typing git commands. It seems almost natural now. With that said, this individual spent their free time to create something using their skills which they perceived to be an improvement/optimization upon their skill-set and shared it with the world. IMHO, that's commendable.

It definitely is. I didn't mean to sound dismissive of his work, but I can see how it does. My intent was rather to inform those who haven't realized, OP seemingly included, that the shell can be very efficient to work with. I can't see myself using this tool and being more productive than I already am with the shell, but I can still appreciate the effort and generosity in making it available to the world.

  I mean, to be fair, you are essentially saying you are not tired of typing git commands only because you type shorthands you've created. It feels like you're raining on his parade a bit because he didn't do the same thing you did. I use aliases too but I also use SourceTree (gasp) for bigger commits. It's not even that I don't know how to git add -p, but clicking "add this hunk" is way easier to do.

    > I mean, to be fair, you are essentially saying you are not tired of typing git commands only because you type shorthands you've created. It feels like you're raining on his parade a bit because he didn't do the same thing you did. Well, it's not like I did something unique. The aliases feature of git is precisely to make commonly used commands shorter, so I found it odd that OP would make a whole new git front-end, apparently to solve the same problem. That's why I asked, "Are there many people that are?", because I wanted to know if many others also found the shell insufficiently efficient and maybe discuss that. I didn't mean to rain on his parade, but I can see that he might not have expected his post's discussion to mostly be about CLI vs GUI or integrating git with editors vs not. I honestly did not expect this much discussion to come out of my comment, either. Then again, how a discussion develops within a community is not really in any individual's control.
