It doesn't have a UI. Its just a program that takes instructions and does what you tell it. If you want a nice fancy GUI for Git there are plenty of reasonable options. Fork is the one my coworkers seem to be enamoured with at this point in time. I myself don't see the need to use any sort of GUI for Git the vast majority of the time.
- mrunkel 7y agoThe manner in which it takes instructions and returns results is the User Interface. That's what the person you are responding to is talking about. UI = User Interface which is the interface between the User and the Program GUI = Graphical User Interface. Same thing, but pretty.
- roca 7y agoThat's right. The Git CLI is the default Git UI. A better Git UI is possible, like Gitless. A GUI that just has the functionality of the Git CLI doesn't solve the problems I care about, like the staging area being unnecessary and complex.
