If you think commandline git is complicated, try to make a symbolic link or an rsync backup from the commandline. Commandline is not easy, it is powerful: that's why we use it, that's why we love it. We don't have to know exactly all the command parameters except one or two: if need more, make a script/an alias or use --help or man; there are many ways. As long as we keep it powerful and can script it, it is good for me. Actually, most of the time I use a GUI for git, because that's what the tool allows and as a human I feel it more practical. But sometimes I go beyond the GUI and use some very specific commande to get back the raw power of it.
