  • Tortoisegit is God awful, stuck in 1999.

    If it works don’t fix it. Not that it’s my go-to.

    you just indicated you enjoy reading man pages

    I have indicated that I do it, not that I enjoy it. But yeah, I prefer it to skimming 20 verbose blog posts and outdated Stackoverflow questions to find one that is actually related to my specific use case. And often enough the search results will be online versions of the man pages anyway. Not quite sure why you are so hostile about it, I just said “read the docs” basically.


  • A ton, like the ones integrated in many editors/IDEs, GitHub Desktop, the one with the little turtle icon, forgot its name… Using gitk all the time. Don’t get me wrong I have nothing against a GUI, just saying I had a much better learning experience with git once I started using the CLI and man pages instead of a GUI and random tutorials for them. It’s just a lot more accessible and better documented in my experience.
