Why not just use cli? I definitely champion _knowing_ cli git for when you need it, but at some point the standard workflows become tedious with the amount of typing required, even using shorthand.
magit provides some super accessible and efficient workflows when paired with e.g. doom-emacs or similar mnemonic keybinds.
Other have mentioned the equivalent of git add -p and believe me using vim's visual selection instead of manually editing out that one line of the patch is a breeze.
