I would argue that any tool (such as a GUI app) which doesn't provide the depth of usability that a shell offers is, in fact, a deficiency in the GUI or tool. If your GUI doesn't offer completions similar to a shell then your GUI tool is inferior to a shell.
- V-2 4y agoThis is usually the case. GUIs are superior in some aspects (eg. visualization of complex branch structures), inferior in others (eg. add more friction - many operations can be done faster from the console). As far as Git goes, I see GUI clients as complementary rather than full-scale substitute for the terminal.
