- 90minuteAPI 5y agoNo apparently that means you don’t know what you’re doing, and you’ll corrupt the repo, and you’re not a real software developer so we’ll come to your desk and rip up your I’m A Very Serious Professional card.
- jbverschoor 5y agoIt's funny, because most devs that are pro CLI for these kind of things, are actually unable to operate vi, or install any server / container without installing a complete desktop environment. Let's all go back to the ed line editor
- akamoonknight 5y agoAnd that's totally valid. gitk is my main experience with visual git tools and using it gives a ton of information that is not only visually nice to look at, but also pretty easy to navigate. But gitk isn't always the most available and sometimes I just need a quick look at the history. They're all just tools in the toolbox, but even knowing the tool exists is a first step.
