git add -i is the thing you'd have to learn. I do that at the CLI most of the time and I'd say I'm quite experienced with it, but I still prefer IntelliJ when it gets complicated.

I'm sure the free GUI is the gateway drug, but at this point practically everybody in finance uses Excel. You can pass files and scripts around and be pretty confident that the external auditor will be able to use them.
